The province has faced number of crises over the last few years which includes a devastating earthquake, armed conflicts, floods, terrorism and energy crises. In a recent development, the Government has prioritized 'Employment Promotion' as one of key priorities for the province.

It was unanimously agreed to develop a comprehensive Employment Policy for the province of KP which is based on ground realities and is fully institutionalized once developed.
