However, broadly speaking, they are all attaching greater priority to projects in physical infrastructure and production sectors. The share of ADP devoted to these sectors ranges from 52 percent in Balochistan to 78 percent in Sindh. Consequently, the share devoted to social sectors is smaller. Each Province has a different top priority sector based on its development gap and needs. Punjab and Balochistan are making the largest allocations of 23 percent and 31 percent respectively to highways and transport, including mass transit. Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa is making a big allocation to the development projects of local governments and the second highest to highways. Sindh is focusing on development of its agriculture and irrigation system, with 35 percent of the allocation to the sector. 136
