Planning, Monitoring & Evaluation

The Department of Trade & Commerce, Government of Arunachal Pradesh, has developed a robust Planning, Monitoring & Evaluation framework to guide the State’s trade and export growth. This system ensures that policies are not only well-conceived but also effectively implemented, regularly monitored, and continuously improved to match global trade dynamics.

The PME framework enables data-driven decision making, transparency, and accountability, while aligning state-level strategies with the Foreign Trade Policy of India and international best practices.

Vision 

• To create a transparent, efficient, and accountable export ecosystem.

• To align state policies with national and global trade objectives.

• To ensure real-time monitoring of trade activities at the district, state, and cross-border levels.

• To build a culture of continuous improvement through feedback loops from exporters and stakeholders.

Core Components

1. State Export Strategy (SES)

• A long-term roadmap identifying priority sectors, potential markets, and investment needs.

• Focuses on high-value sectors such as horticulture, handicrafts, handlooms, plantation crops, and border trade.

• Integrates with India’s Act East Policy to leverage Arunachal Pradesh’s strategic location.

2. District Export Action Plans (DEAPs)

• Each district is being developed as a distinct export hub.
