NAP: Fighting insurgency
Military operations Zarb-i-Azb and the NAP targeting insurgency were set in motion following attacks on Karachi's Jinnah International Airport and Peshawar's Army Public School in 2014.
Officials say at least 3,000 militants have been killed since the launch of the latest offensive.
The number of attacks in Pakistan has fallen around 70 per cent this year, due to a combination of a military offensive against Taliban bases along the Afghan border and government initiatives to tackle militancy.
A meeting of top government officials earlier this week was reminded that NAP progress on counter-terrorism continued to be marred by inadequate effort to implement some of its key elements.
A government source said that the focus of the meeting remained on the areas where the progress was sluggish.
Some of the elements of NAP that have long been identified as poor performing include action against terror financing; foreign funding of seminaries; proscribed organisations and sectarian groups; hate speeches; and madressah reforms. The provincial mechanism for civil-military coordination on security issues too has been experiencing difficulties.
The source said that the same areas continued to remain source of concern.
Despite these issues having been flagged on multiple occasions, the government is struggling to tackle the problematic areas.
Resurgence of sectarianism in different parts of the country was also noted during the meeting.
Another source, when asked about the assessment of the progress by the meeting, had said: "Unfortunately Zarb-i-Azb and associated intelligence-based operations were not being fully complemented by other components of the 20-point National Action Plan."
