Kiravian Development Executive

The Kiravian Development Executive, currently operating as the Executive for Development & Regional Balance ( Vekturora Lékréstordh u Rymnivilrēdh ) is the Collegial executive responsible for economic development and human development policy in the Federation, South Kirav, and the Melian Isles. Its counterpart serving Sarolasta and the Overseas Regions is the Overseas Development Executive. The Development Executive's work focuses on supporting economic development and social protection in Second and Third Kirav with the goal of maintaining national economic cohesion and decentralisation. In Valtanen's typology of Collegiate executives, the Development Executive is a classic "grantmaking" or "management" executive (rather than a "service" or "regulatory" executive), and its primary function is to administer the Structural Adjustment Fund.

History
The Development Executive was established in 1992 AD by the Reconstruction & Development Act as part of the larger diffusion of the Territorial Executive. Most of the programmes and agencies assigned to the new Development Executive had been absorbed from the Kiravian Union after reunification, and most of these would be abolished, privatised, or devolved to provincial control over the course of the decade as the federal government downsized and its rôle in inland development became more indirect with the establishment of the Structural Adjustment Fund.

Sanitation Improvement Agency
The Sanitation Improvement Agency assists inland Kiravians in transitioning from or  to  methods.

Inclusive Development Office
The Inclusive Development Office, previously the Internal Development and Living Standards Directorate and the Interior Development Office attends to the ethnic, caste, and communal dimension of development, with the aim of promoting and  by addressing the special needs of marginalised populations. Its main activity is producing the quinquennial Communal Development Rating Index, which assesses the socio-economic situation of identifiable population groups according to various metrics, evaluates the extent of discrimination and other social barriers to improvement, and assigns groups numerical ratings and class designations based on these findings. The ratings and designations in the report are used by other federal and provincial agencies to allocate state aid and other benefits Coscivian subgroups and Kiravite Minorities, off-reservation Urom populations, and National Minority populations living in the Federation and South Kirav fall within the scope of the CDRI. Beginning in 2030 AD, the IDO will also monitor the development of Deaf communities pending Collegial approval of a subclassification scheme for this population.

The IDO is most acutely concerned with the welfare of Coscivian harsitem (outcastes) and yakavem ("village menial castes"), landless Urom tribes such as the Hotmail, urbanised Urom, midget colonies, describing these groups as "the absolute bottom rung of the Kiravian social ladder, except for Hosyars and Kikparis." Other economically precarious and historically discriminated communities, including occupational castes (e.g. Hop clans, Euluśians, Sea Coscivians), small and insular Coscivian minorities (e.g. Pine Swamp Coscivians), and certain Sectarian groups (e.g. Enochites, Abrigalasts) are also high priorities, and it was historically these peoples, along with the lower strata of the regional majority ethnicities in the poor inland provinces, upon whom the IDO was most focused in the past. Over time, however, the office has increased its attention to other populations in need, such as urban Kolakoskem "returnees" in coastal cities.

Beyond its CDRI reports, the IDO also administers a small (relative to the SAF) amount of grant money to benefit marginalised communities.

Inherited from the Kiravian Union as the Interior Development Office, the IDO has been a political (if mostly rhetorical) lightning rod in the larger public debate about the policy significance of ethnic/caste/communal groups under liberalism. The Shaftonist Republican Alliance, grounded in the dhianbrikorisēn of the Renaissance Party and increasingly perceived in recent decades as representing higher caste interests, has often railed against the agency but has not moved to abolish the IDO despite its long-term political dominance. The Coscivian National Congress, which has a strong voter base among the lower castes, has defended the IDO and its budget from SRA cuts even as a coalition partner. Customary leaders, Urom activists, traditionalist commentators, and some socialists have criticised the IDO's development philosophy and rating criteria as reflective of urban, bourgeois, and upper-caste biases and denigrating towards manual labour and traditional economies.
