As such, the allocation of development funds for expansion of social services by the Federal Government has declined after 2010, following the 7 th NFC Award, from 16 percent to 8 percent in 2019-20. The regions which have a special autonomous status are Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Gilgit­Baltistan and the Federal Administered Tribal Areas(FATA). The last region was recently merged into the Province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. The allocated share of the three regions combined in the Federal PSDP has gone up from 8 percent in 2009-10 to 10 percent in 2019-20. It was proposed to increase this further to 15 percent in 2020-21. The other special allocations relate to Internally Displaced Persons(IDPs) and to the Earthquake Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Authority(ERRA), operating in Azad Jammu and Kashmir after the devastating earthquake in 2005. Now, there is a focus also on allocations to promote the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) of the United Nations. There are relatively small allocations to the remaining 35 Divisions at the Federal level. Combined these allocations range from 20 percent to 28 percent of the Federal PSDP. The priority in allocations in 2020-21 between ongoing and new projects in the major sectors of development activities is given in Table 13.3. Total cost of ongoing projects in these sectors is Rs 5923 billion. The total expenditure already incurred on these projects is Rs 2769 billion, equivalent to 47 percent of the costs. Therefore, the overall throw forward of costs of on-going projects is 53 percent of the costs. There is a wide variation in the status of completion in different sectors. 75 percent of the cost of on-going projects under implementation by the National Highway Authority has already been incurred as compared to only 22 percent in the case of the PAEC. 133
