Directorate of Social Welfare, Merged Areas Secretariat - 'formerly FATA' Zakat & Ushr, Social Welfare, Special Education and Women Empowerment Department, Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The Erstwile Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA) is strategically located between the Pakistan-Afghanistan border and the settled areas of KPK(khyber pakhtunkhwa). Merged Areas, both historically and traditionally had a unique administrative and political status from the British times since 1849. However, in 1893, a demarcation was raised with Afghanistan called Durand Line. They controlled

the area through a combination of effective Political Agents and tribal elders, while leaving the people with their traditions and internal independence. Pakistan inherited this system and more or less continues with it even today. Since the independence of Pakistan,Ex- FATA has not been accorded the same priority in terms of the development process being undertaken in other parts of the country. The development initiatives and allocations in Ex-FATA followed a compartmentalized approach, concentrated around sectoral facilities and benefiting few influential and politically active sections. This ad hoc approach deprived large segments of the population from social uplift, and economic empowerment.
