Authority chairman briefs ECC on plan to build housing units with publicprivate partnership ISLAMABAD: Policymakers have raised questions over the partnership between Naya Pakistan Housing and Development Authority (Naphda) and the private sector to select the developers for building housing units. Naphda does not follow Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) rules which set guidelines for awarding procurement contracts. In a recent meeting of the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC), the Naphda chairman briefed committee members on the public-private partnership for building housing units. He revealed that the Naphda policy board, in its meeting held on February 3, 2021, had recommended the submission of the case for review and approval by the ECC.
