This technical note serves as a guideline for freshly inducted parliamentarians to understand some key elements of the decision-making processes in the Federal Government. These decisions, before fruition, pass through an iterative process which starts with the identification of an issue. It is articulated in such a manner that it draws the attention of many other stakeholders who can contribute towards its resolution. The note underlines the structure through which policy matters are given a final shape and converted into implementable decisions. The framework in this regard is mandated by the rules which draw strength from the provisions of the Constitution. The second part of the note deals with the working of key regulatory institutions like Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA), National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) and the State Bank of Pakistan.
