Strengthening Parliamentary Oversight through Institutional Engagement 🇵🇰 As part of the three-day Capacity Building Workshop for Parliamentarians of Balochistan, Punjab and Sindh, organized by SSDO with the support of the British High Commission (BHC), participants visited the National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA) for a high-level interactive engagement. The parliamentarians were welcomed by the DG NACTA and Minister of State for Interior, Mr. Talal Chaudhry, who briefed participants on Pakistan's evolving counter terrorism landscape, the implementation of the National Action Plan (NAP), and the importance of strengthening coordination between federal and provincial institutions to effectively counter terrorism and prevent violent extremism. The interactive session also provided an opportunity for parliamentarians to discuss provincial security priorities, legislative challenges, and institutional mechanisms for enhancing democratic oversight of Pakistan's counter terrorism framework. The engagement reinforced the importance of sustained collaboration between Parliament, NACTA, and other national security institutions to advance evidence-based policymaking, strengthen legislative oversight, and promote a coordinated national response to terrorism and violent extremism. Strengthening partnerships. Enhancing oversight. Building a more secure and resilient Pakistan. #SSDO #BritishHighCommission #NACTA #NationalActionPlan #CounterTerrorism #CVE #ParliamentaryEngagement #LegislativeOversight #Peacebuilding #Pakistan
