Selected individuals typically spend a year working as a full-time, paid Fellow to senior White House Staff, Cabinet Secretaries and other top-ranking government officials. Fellows also participate in an Education Program consisting of roundtable discussions with leaders from the private and public sectors, and trips to study U. Fellowships are awarded on a strictly non-partisan basis.
The purpose of the White House Fellows program is to provide gifted and highly motivated young Americans with first-hand experience in the process of governing the Nation and a sense of personal involvement and responsibility in the leadership of society.
Engagement in the work of the federal government lies at the heart of a White House Fellowship. Work assignments offer the Fellows unparalleled experience working with senior administration officials on ever changing issues and challenges. White House Fellows spend a year as full-time, paid assistants to senior White House Staff, the Vice President, Cabinet Secretaries and other top-ranking government officials. Their assignments demand a capacity for quick learning and a willingness to work hard, often on issues outside of their area of expertise.
Responsibilities range from participating in interagency meetings and designing and implementing federal policies, to drafting speeches for cabinet secretaries to representing their agencies on Capitol Hill and in international treaty negotiations. The majority of time, effort, and learning experienced by each Fellow occurs as part of their work placement. Each class meets with dozens of individuals including Supreme Court Justices, Cabinet Secretaries, senior White House officials, Members of Congress, military leaders, journalists, historians, business executives, leaders from non-government organizations, and foreign heads of state.
These sessions generally take place during the week, and are off-the-record, lively and frank. Another component of the Education Program involves the study of U. Pakistan is not unique with this problem of poor performing government enterprises. All over the world SOES are either performing badly or their performance have remained constant. Both the organizations have turned around their accounting sheets. Even the proponent of communism, China is transforming its SOE ownership structure, to mixed ownership of public private partnership so their performance can be improved.
In the light of discussion, a viable option for a developing nation like Pakistan is privatization of all such inefficient enterprises by restructuring their ownership. Some of the proposed benefits of the privatization on the national economy are generation of funds, creating employability in a long run, improving productivity, more savings, controlling inflation, improving the efficiency through private ownership, FDI. All the benefits when combined together will positively add to the GDP.
The opponents of this view may argue that poor will pay the high price due to privatization of strategic resources such as railways, steel mills, financial institutions and airline.
However, the government should be concerned with raising the standard of living of its people so that accessibility of services is within their reach. This can only be achieved by improving the economic conditions and not through subsidizing the mismanaged SOEs. From till over SOE were privatized generating Most of the sectors were telecommunication, banking followed by industries and energy Fig 1. In this difficult time we all should support the cause of privatization in the greater benefit of Pakistan.
Written by: Muhammad Saqib Tanveer. What you can do is, you can plan and install necessary checks to limit the damage. Fortunately, in Pakistan, we have laws for almost everything. We have requisite organizations like Planning Commission to plan and forecast, NDMA, ERRA and several other organizations for damage limitation but their performance can be measured from the current state of Pakistan. Dismal it is. Every year we know there will be floods.
Every year we know there will be water scarcity. But what do we do to tackle these issues? We know our foreign reserves are dwindling on a daily basis but what concrete steps are we taking to solve the issue? Ah yes, 3G auction and money from Etisalat is yet to fill our coffers. Good luck with that. People talk about planning and Pakistani government trying to move ahead and plan for the future. But we have been hearing this mantra for the last 6 decades.
Planning, in essence, is the name of being proactive and being ready for the future. Instead of being proactive, we are totally reactive.
