PIFRA II Achievements in NWFP
Regional Directorate Peshawar is working day and night to achieve the goal of making the whole province productive on NAM/SAP/R3 by September 2006 after declaring NWFP as a pilot province. This driving force enabled productivity for five District Accounts Offices i.e. Haripur, Mansehra, Hangu, Malakand and Swabi in the month of January 2006. It is a remarkable achievement by Regional Director (RD) NWFP to make the highest number of sites productive in one month. Another milestone achieved by RD NWFP with the help of SAP Competency Center (CC) is the conversion of current year’s budget for District Government on SAP/R3 using codes from Chart of Accounts.
