Devolution Plan - I was initiated in Pakistan in 2001, under the Local Government Ordinance, with the main objective of decentralizing political and administrative power from the central government to local governments.

Under the Devolution Plan - I, local governments were given more power to make and implement policies at the local level. This was intended to empower people at the grassroots level and to promote local development. However, the implementation of Devolution Plan - I faced several challenges, such as the limited resources and capacity of local governments, resistance from federal and provincial governments, and lack of public awareness and participation. Despite these challenges, the Devolution Plan - I was significant in that it gave more power and autonomy to local governments, which enabled them to better address the needs and priorities of their communities. This helped to promote local development and to empower people at the grassroots level. Devolution Plan - I was initiated by the Pakistan People's Party, which was in power at the time. The Plan was part of a broader effort to promote democracy and decentralization in the country. The success of Devolution Plan - I led to the initiation of Devolution Plan - II in 2010, which further expanded the role and responsibilities of local governments in Pakistan. Overall, Devolution Plan - I was a significant initiative in the history of Pakistan, as it helped to decentralize political and administrative power from the central government to local governments, empowering people at the grassroots level and promoting local development.
