Qamar Zaman Chaudhry, Chairman NAB chaired a meeting to review latest progress on development of Accountability Management System (AMS) at NAB Headquarters here on Thursday. During the meeting, DG NAB gave a presentation regarding the work done so far on development of Accountability Management System (AMS) in order to develop an effective Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) framework for NAB.
He informed that a team of Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) visited NAB Headquarters and Rawalpindi/Islamabad Regional Bureau to review for setting up of an effective Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) System and ability to analyze data in qualitative and quantitative form having warnings and alarms system for violators.
The LUMS team after their observations and survey gave recommendations to NAB that after a careful review of the data and reports at NAB, it has been observed that NAB has a rigorous Monitoring System and data overload. Reporting mechanism is also in place and Regional competence to manage the workload is also satisfactory. However, NAB needs to draw an effective overall M&E Framework which should encompass the organisational vision and mission and should align the activities to the desired outcomes. NAB also needs to put in practice a rigorous system of evaluation to analyze the data regularly to evaluate its workings.
On the basis of recommendations of LUMS team, NAB has sought requirements from Regional Bureaus, Operation and Prosecution Divisions of NAB Headquarters for establishment of an effective Accountability Management System (AMS). In line with the recommendations of LUMS and suggestions received from NAB Regional Bureaus, Operation and Prosecution Divisions of NAB Headquarters, the Accountability Management System (AMS) was developed catering to the needs of all concerned having salient features of maintenance of data at each stage including complaint entry, complaint verification, inquiry, investigation, prosecution stage and record preservation of Regional Board Meetings and Executive Board Meetings including case brief, decisions made and list of participants attended the meeting with time & date and in line with the directions of Supreme Court of Pakistan for setting up an effective Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) System and ability to analyze data in qualitative and quantitative form having warnings and alarms system for violators.
The Chairman NAB appreciated the efforts being made by NAB team for setting up of Accountability Monitoring System (AMS) in 75 days having warnings and alarms system for violators till June 30, 2015 which is also date of completion of all pending complaint verifications, inquiries and investigations.
