Introduction
In order to gain a better understanding of the programmatic focus of the donor community and funding
trends in Pakistan, a comprehensive mapping of donor activities and the development of donor profiles
was undertaken. This compendium will support the donor community to promote overall donor
coordination efforts in accordance with OECD DAC aid effectiveness and good donorship principles. It is
hoped that improved knowledge of which donors are active in which sectors and parts of the country
will help avoid duplication of efforts and allow potential synergies to be highlighted. The donor profiles
will also serve to inform the UN’s resource mobilization efforts.
In order to gain a holistic picture of the donor landscape, both development and humanitarian support
is included in the profile. Information on loans as well as grants is included wherever possible. However,
funding channeled through public diplomacy or political departments of embassies is not included.
Where possible, the donor profiles include the sectors of engagement, geographical focus, type of
funding, projects, implementing partners and over all investments. Not all donors have provided the
same level of information, hence information disparities do exist.
It should be noted that this is a dynamic document. The donor profiles will be reviewed and updated on
a regular basis in order to provide as up-to-date information as possible.
Methodology: A two-pronged methodology was adopted to gather the information on donor activities.
In the first instance, a desk review of the existing information available on donor websites and donor
profiles compiled by different UN agencies, funds and programmes was carried out. This information
was then expanded upon and revised through conducting individual interviews and meetings with the
donor organizations. The collaboration of all donors included in this compendium has been much
appreciated. Based on the information collected, two categories of information are being compiled and
documented:
1. A profile of each donor summarizing key programmatic focus as per their country programmes,
sector focus, geographical presence, and funding priorities and allocations.
2. A complete compendium of donors’ programmes and funding (which is being compiled
separately).
The mapping and profiles was carried out in two phases. In the first phase, the study focused on major
traditional donors like the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Australian Aid for International Development
(AusAID), Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD), the European Union (EU), the
United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DfID), the Japan International
Cooperation Agency (JICA), Norway, the Netherlands, the Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC), the
United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the World Bank, which are presented
in this document. In the second phase, other non-traditional donors, including, for example, the Gulf
States, nonresident donors, INGOs, and leading private sector entities providing resources to Pakistan
directly or through corporate social responsibility, will be covered.

This is a living document and will be updated over time. Information presented in this document is
shared with donors for their feedback and revalidation, and the document will be revised based on the
information update available.

Detailed Donor Profiles:
Asian Development Bank
Since its founding in 1966, ADB has been working in Pakistan for improving people’s lives. By targeting
potential investments in partnership with developing member countries and other stakeholders, ADB
strives to alleviate poverty and help create an environment in which people can share in the benefits of
sustained and inclusive growth. ADB assists developing member countries evolve into thriving modern
economies that are well integrated with each other and the world.
Thematic focus: ADB is working with the government and the private sector to improve Pakistan’s
economy and inclusive growth. Aligned with national development objectives, ADB’s partnership
priorities aim to attract investment, create industries and jobs, and improve the quality of life of citizens
while focusing on the following areas:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Investment and Reforms in Energy and Infrastructure
Reforms to Strengthen Governance and Promote Structural Transformation
Development of Urban Services
Effective Implementation of Projects and Programs and Capacity Building
Geographical Focus: ADB programs have a nation-wide outreach in Pakistan.
Country Programme Strategy: The Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) for Pakistan defines ADB's
strategic approach in the country for 2009-2013, aligned with Pakistan’s own Development Strategy
2020. The ADB's comparative strengths complement efforts of other development partners. Based on
the aforementioned thematic area, the Strategy provides the framework for ADB's partnership priorities
and the future direction of its assistance to the country.
The country operations business plan (COBP 2013-2014OBP) for Pakistan describes the consistency of
the business plan with the country partnership strategy (CPS 2009-2013). The CPS 2009–2013 is in
accordance with ADB’s Strategy 2020, and the COBP retains this focus.
Programs and Projects: ADP has 144 approved technical assistance projects in Pakistan, which are at
different stages of implementation, and 18 new public and private sector projects are proposed for
approval.
ADB support for reforms and investments in key infrastructure sector programmes include power and
energy, transport and the National Trade Corridor, and water resources. This assistance will reduce the
cost of doing business in Pakistan and strengthen the underlying competitiveness of the economy.
Support for a new generation of economic reforms will be provided by reducing distortions, accelerating
market creation, and addressing governance and institutional bottlenecks.
Pakistan is one of the largest recipients of ADB’s private sector development assistance with over $ 1
billion approved equity investments, loans (including co financing), and guarantees. In line with ADB’s
country partnership strategy, power and energy infrastructure projects are among the key priority
sectors for ADB’s private sector operations in Pakistan. The ongoing portfolio comprises three domestic
gas-based thermal independent power projects, including Pakistan's first private sector hydropower
project, the first privately owned wind power project, a privatized electricity utility, and an equity fund.

Implementing Partners: As a multilateral development bank, ADB collaborates with the Government of
Pakistan and the State Bank of Pakistan. Through the implementation of its microfinance lending and
technical assistance, ADB has also entered into partnerships with the Khushhali Bank, the Bank of
Khyber, and a number of NGOs involved in microfinance in the country.
Funding Allocation: ADB’s indicative resources for the two year period, 2013–2014, are US$ 2,180
million, including US$ 720 million Asian Development Fund (ADF) and US$ 1,460 million Ordinary Capital
resource (OCR).
The total firm lending program proposed for Pakistan in 2013–2014 amounts to US$ 2,468 million (US$
1,108 million ADF, US$ 1,360 million OCR) for 17 loans in the priority sectors, an annual average of
$1,234 million a year. About 55% of this (and 90% of OCR) lending will be provided through multi
tranche financing facilities (MFFs). The non-lending technical assistance program for 2013–2014
currently stands at about US$ 10.05 million for 14 projects, mainly project preparatory technical
assistance. Efforts will be made to mobilize co financing for technical assistance projects.
Total ADB’s lending facility to Pakistan, as of December 2012, amounted to US$ 22,571.89 million as per
following sectoral distribution:
Page 10 of 52
Funding Mechanism: ADB provides funding to Pakistan by using lending, non-lending and cost-sharing

Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID)
The AusAID works with the governments of developing countries to help them improve the way they
deliver economic and community services. The aid is delivered to support the delivery of goods and
services (e.g. humanitarian relief, building health clinics and schools, immunizing children), building
national institutions and capacities, and initiating policy dialogue and reform by engaging local
counterparts in government, civil society and business.
Thematic Focus: AusAID programme support is primarily focused on the following sectors:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Education and Health
Humanitarian and disaster preparedness and response
Economic development
Governance and
General development support
Geographical Focus: AusAID works in all geographical areas of Pakistan with a more focused approach
towards under-privileged and remote areas of the country.
Country Programme Strategy: The Governments of Australia and Pakistan signed the Partnership in
October 2011. Aid to Pakistan supports efforts to maintain stability and democratic governance, and
achieve economic development and poverty reduction in line with the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs). It focuses on three primary sectors: health, education, and economic development (agriculture
and rural development). Issues of related to governance and emergency management response are
secondary in its priorities. However, underpinning Australia’s aid program in Pakistan is support to
gender equality.
Programmes and Projects: The AusAID has invested US$ 297.4 million in Pakistan over the previous
three years. Its investment has contributed to important development results such as:
Training of 8,966 community midwives in rural areas of Khyber PakhtunKhwa since 2008. Over
4,800 of these women have already been deployed to serve the community
2. Providing free textbooks for 1.56 million children and stipends for 146,560 girls in middle and
high school
3. Performing over 13,000 cataract surgeries and treating more than 52,700 people for eye-related
diseases.
1.
During 2012-13, the AusAID has provided US$ 85.7 million in development assistance to Pakistan for:
a. Screening up to 200,000 children for malnutrition and provide nutrition support for up to
180,000 women.
b. Improving the quality of education in 584 schools in Balochistan, Gilgit-Baltistan and Khyber
PakhtunKhwa covering more than 145,000 children.
c. Basic work skills training (such as carpentry and plumbing) for more than 1,600 people and
support 150 new community organizations to implement community infrastructure projects
such as road and bridge repair, irrigation and drinking water supply.

In addition to the above projects, Canada also programs in Pakistan through its Multilateral and Global
Programs Branch and Partnership for Development Innovation Branch.
Through its Multilateral Branch, Canada provides long-term institutional support and short-term
humanitarian assistance. Since 2010, Canada has provided over C$100 million in humanitarian
assistance to Pakistan, through experienced partners such as the United Nations, the International Red
Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and Canadian non-governmental organizations. This assistance was
provided in response to humanitarian crises arising from ongoing conflict between the Pakistani army
and militant groups in the north-west of the country, as well as people affected by catastrophic flooding.
Canada’s Partnership assistance consists mainly of health and human development programming,
including a project with the Aga Khan Foundation of Canada focusing on health systems in several
countries including Pakistan.
Implementing Partners: DFATD Development programmes and projects are implemented in
partnership with government organizations, multi-lateral development organizations, donors, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), academia, media, volunteers and the private sector. CARE
International, WFP, UNICEF, Aga Khan Foundation, Kashf Foundation, the International Labour
Organization and the International Federation of Electoral Systems are some of the active partners of
DFATD in Pakistan.
Funding Allocation: As per the most recently available financial figures, Canada’s aid to Pakistan for
2012-13 amounted to C$89.04 million3. Of this, C$62.97 million was delivered through DFATD and
C$26.07 million was delivered through Finance Canada, the International Development Research Centre,
and the provincial and municipal governments.
DFATD’s assistance of C$62.97 million can be further broken down into C$30.76 million from
Multilateral and Global Program Branch, C$20.43 from Geographic Program Branch, C$1.73 million from
Partnership with Canadians Branch, C$0.47 from Foreign Affairs and Trade, and $9.57 through imputed
long-term institutional support through multilateral partners.

enable them to set up their own small business and lift themselves out of poverty; expand
branchless banking so that three million people can access financial services from their mobile
phones; and provide job and skills training for 40,000 people.
4. Democracy and governance: DFID support contributed to the increase in voter turnout in the 2013
general election. DFID is also working directly with provincial and district governments in Punjab and
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to improve delivery of essential services to the public including education and
health.
5. Women and girls: Women and girls are at the centre of everything UK aid does. The UK’s support
will support 2 million more girls in school by 2015/16; increase the number of births delivered with
the help of nurses, midwives and doctors by 1 million; help 500,000 couples choose when and how
many children they have; help around 700,000 women access financial services such as micro-loans;
and support women’s rights in Pakistan including tackling domestic violence, empowering women to
Page 18 of 52
get involved in local politics, and strengthening legislation.Building peace and stability: DFID has 3
programmes totalling £89.3m over 4 years, which were designed to directly respond to the Post
Crisis Needs Assessment (PCNA). These comprise contributions to a World Bank-led multi-donor
trust fund aimed at benefitting approximately 4.84 million people across KP, FATA and Balochistan;
a programme to rehabilitate vital education and transport infrastructure – rebuilding 66 bridges and
40 schools damaged in flooding and military operations; and a programme supporting capacity

The Netherlands
The Dutch policy priorities for development cooperation have undergone fundamental changes in 2011
based on the findings of a study commissioned by the Dutch government, entitled: more ambition and
less pretention. According to this study, the Netherlands should reduce the number of its ‘partner
countries’ and focus much more on sectors where it has a comparative advantage and value added:
water management, food security, rule of law and reproductive health. The study also recommends
putting more emphasis on investments and trade as engines for economic growth, employment and
human development.
Thematic Focus: The Dutch government also decided to refocus its support and services in the coming
years in Pakistan on the following two sectors:
1.
2.
Human security, rule of law and human rights and
Promotion of trade and investment under the slogan: from aid to trade.
Geographical Focus: Currently, the Dutch Embassy has projects in Malakand Division of Khyber
PakhtunKhwa province only.
Country Programme Strategy: For Pakistan changes in Dutch development cooperation have resulted in
the decision of the Dutch government to end its current bilateral development cooperation program.
Therefore, all projects in education, water & environment, and governance will be completed before
2015. This also implies that no new funding requests will be accepted by the Dutch government in the
afore-mentioned sectors.
The focus of the current bilateral development cooperation program is on basic education, water &
environment, and governance.
Programmes and Projects: The current focus of the Dutch funded projects is on education, water and
environment and governance. The education portfolio consists of 8 projects, covering pre-primary,
primary, secondary and technical/vocational education and training. Most projects started in response
to both natural disasters (earthquake and floods) and human emergencies in conflict affected districts,
in particular in Khyber PakhtunKhwa and Balochistan. Construction and rehabilitation of (girls) schools
and classrooms, improvement of sanitary facilities, provision of textbooks and complementary learning
materials, teacher training and school based planning and management are part and parcel of most of
the projects. Specific attention is paid to learning outcomes, safety and creating a child friendly learning
environment.
The current water and environment portfolio consist of 13 projects and programs. Collaboration in the
water and environment sectors are based on the priorities defined in the National Environmental Policy
of the Government of Pakistan.
The Governance portfolio consists of 7 projects and covers electoral reforms, strengthening the
functioning of Parliament, supporting community and public institutions for improved governance and
protecting basic human rights, enhancing peace and security through integration of women’s human
rights. The support also includes training of young diplomats in international relations and diplomatic
practice, and training of judges in international criminal law.

Funding Allocation: As of 2012, the Dutch government has contributed € 110.2 million to various
programmes and projects in Pakistan in the following sectors:
Page 23 of 52
Funding Modalities: The Dutch has a limited budget for small scale and short term projects in Pakistan.
This budget is available for projects that concern development, poverty reduction, health, gender,
education, environment, etc. (ODA) and other projects that concern the strengthening of ties between
Pakistan and the Netherlands, for example cultural projects (Non-ODA).
Implementing Partners: The Dutch were implementing projects with a number of government and non
government entities, as well as with UN agencies. A brief account of these partnerships is as under:
Education: The programs are implemented by international agencies such as UNICEF, Save the
Children, World Vision and GIZ in close collaboration and coordination with the Provincial and
District Education government officials and the other development partners.
2. Water & Environment : Current programs undertaken with the government, NGOs, private sector
include: the Asian Development Bank, World Bank and IWMI wetlands, mangroves, groundwater,
biodiversity, Indus River, livelihoods with local government, communities, UNDP, IUCN and WWF
with RSPN & SNV with UNDP and provincial governments.
3. Governance: These programs are implemented by international agencies like The Asia Foundation,
UNDP, UNWOMEN, and The Netherlands Institute for International Relations Clingendael, The
Hague Forum for Judicial Expertise, and also by local NGOs like Strengthening Participatory
Organization (SPO).

The European Union (EU)
Cooperation between the European Union (EU) and Pakistan dates back to 1974, but the 2004
cooperation agreement paved the way for closer relations. The EU’s humanitarian aid and Civil
Protection department (ECHO) has been working in Pakistan for a number of years, responding to
people affected by natural disasters and conflict. Humanitarian aid to Pakistan has totaled almost € 313
million since 2009. Various relief items were channeled and assistance provided to flood victims
through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.
As part of the EU’s response to the devastating floods that hit Pakistan, the European Parliament and
the Council signed the measures giving emergency autonomous trade preferences for Pakistan on 25
October. This means that certain goods from Pakistan can enter the EU duty free or will be subject to
certain ceilings (tariff rate quotas). The measures enter into force in November 2012 following their
publication in the EU's Official Journal and was in place until 31 December 2013.
Thematic Focus: The current thematic focus of the EU is on two main priorities:
1. Rural development and natural resources management – the main concern here is the
deteriorating state of the environment and declining water resources. The objective is to
improve livelihoods and spur income generation and employment in rural communities,
including those with big refugee populations.
2. Education and human resources development – the aim is to increase access to basic education
and improve vocational training to prepare the growing number of young people for the job
market.
Geographical Focus: EU programme and project assistance has a county wide coverage with a focused
approached towards areas affected by natural and manmade disasters.
Country Programme Strategy: In line with Pakistan’s policy priorities, the EU’s programme strategy for
Pakistan (2007-2013) aims at reducing poverty. The first focal area for assistance is rural development
and natural resources management in Khyber PakhtunKhwa and Baluchistan with a view to reducing
regional disparities and promoting stability in Pakistan’s sensitive provinces bordering Afghanistan. The
second focal area will be education and human resources development which is a critical ingredient for
developing a well-trained work force and creating a moderate and stable Pakistan.
Activities carried out in the field of higher education will be financed within the context of the regional
programming for Asia. Other areas of assistance are trade development, democratization and human
rights and anti-money laundering.
To maximize the impact of EC assistance, key cross-cutting issues, in particular the environment, conflict
prevention, gender, HIV/AIDS, human rights and governance are mainstreamed in this CSP.
Page 25 of 52
Programmes and Projects: The EU support goes to programmes in the areas of human rights,
democratization and trade development. There are two major initiatives currently being implemented in
Pakistan:
1. Support for track2 dialogue between India and Pakistan (implemented through the Jinnah
Institute in Islamabad and the Centre for Dialogue and Reconciliation in Delhi): this project
includes the organization of conferences both in Delhi and Islamabad gathering civil society, think
tanks and media but also government officials. The objective is to discuss sensitive issues in order to
create mutual understanding and goodwill on both sides. This project lasted for 18 months and will
soon be prolonged for another 18 months. Kashmir was the main focus of the initial contracting
period and will remain one of the main angles for the next 18 months (together with other issues
such as water issues, Afghanistan post-2014 or media).
2. Peace-building in Kashmir (implemented through Conciliation Resources): the overall objective of
the project is to contribute to a more productive and inclusive peace process between India and
Pakistan by facilitating the participation of people from all regions of Kashmir and creating
constituencies for peace on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC). The project focus includes cross
LoC dialogue and advocacy training workshop for civil society, engagement of women ‘mentors’
with women on respective sides of the LoC, advocacy activities and meetings with parliamentarians
from both sides of Kashmir, joint university activities or support the development of a
Memorandum of Understanding between cross LoC Chambers and Traders Associations.
Implementing Partners: EU has been engaged with a wide range of implementing partners including
Democracy Reporting International, WB, UNDP, Internews, International Alert, Search for Common
Ground, Community Appraisal and Motivation Programme Society – CAMP, PAIMAN Alumni Trust,
International Foundation for Electoral Systems, Trust for Democratic Education and Accountability
(TDEA) / Free and Fair Elections Network
Funding Allocation: Under the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI), an indicative allocation of €
398 million has been earmarked for Pakistan for the period 2007-2013. These resources may be
supplemented by projects and programmes financed under the regional programmes for Asia and under
various thematic programmes. An overview of the past seven years (2000-2007) EU’s grant cooperation
with Pakistan as follows:

Norway
The Government of Pakistan and Norway has long standing relations. Norway established diplomatic
relations with Pakistan when Pakistan gained its independence in 1947, and there’s been a Norwegian
Embassy in Islamabad since the 1970s. A cornerstone in the bilateral relations is the development
cooperation, with an emphasis on education, health, good governance and culture. Norway is also a
major humanitarian donor to Pakistan.
Thematic Focus: The overall objective of Norway’s development policy is to fight poverty and bring
about social justice. Norway’s development priorities for Pakistan in 2014 will include good governance,
education, rural development, women and gender equality and human rights. In addition, the embassy
supports projects related to culture, peace and reconciliation, and building local capacities for disaster
prevention, preparedness and response.
Geographical Focus: Norway’s development programme and project has a county wide coverage with a
focused approached towards neglected areas of the country.
Country Programme Strategy: Norwegian development policy is strongly aligned with the country’s
foreign policy and national interest in international stability and in “safeguarding global public good”.
The human-rights-approach and the focus on poverty reduction lost some importance in Norwegian
cooperation in the last years, while the orientation to growth became more important. Norway’s focus on
global poverty reduction is driven by a combination of moral responsibility and national interests. Its
development policy is based on a commitment to solidarity and the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs), the belief in a strong United Nations and a human-Rights-based-approach. Development policy
aims at challenging structural sources of inequality, injustice, oppression and discrimination. The
government is a strong supporter of multilateral development system, aid effectiveness, policy coherence
and innovative financing mechanisms.
Programmes and Projects: Norway has a number of new and on-going development initiatives in
Pakistan. UNODC and Norway signed a project agreement on 6 June 2013 with a grant of NOK 1.75
million. The project will support improved institutional capacities for police training and crime scene
investigation skills and processes, as well as improved training in prosecutor career development and
police-prosecutor cooperation. NOK 15 million is also being provided to a 3-year programme (20122014) for home based workers managed by UN Women. A total of NOK 20 million is expected to be
spent in 2014 on the phasing out of the Norwegian-Pakistan Partnership Initiative managed by UNFPA,
UNICEF and WHO.
On the humanitarian front, Norway contributed NOK 10 million (approx. US$ 1.6 million) to the
Emergency Response Fund Pakistan, while providing a combined total of NOK 50 million to
organizations such as Save the Children, UNHCR, NRC and the Norwegian Red Cross/IFRC/ICRC.

Implementing Partners: Norway works in collaboration with national and local level development
partners throughout the country besides the UN system. Some of these partners include UNODC, OCHA,
NDMA, and non Government Organizations.
Funding Allocation: The annual development budget managed by the Norwegian Embassy in Pakistan is
targeted at NOK 100 million. Norway is the third largest contributor to the ERF having contributed NOK
45 million in total (approx. US$ 7.5 million) since 2010. Norway is also the fund’s most consistent
Page 29 of 52
contributor having allocated funding every year since its establishment. In 2013 Norway also allocated
NOK 5.5 million to support a capacity building project with the NDMA, coordinated by UN OCHA, which
is still ongoing.
Funding Mechanism: The Embassy of Norway does not issue calls for applications though accepts and
evaluates project applications throughout the year. While the embassy mainly grants project and
programme support, funding for small scale grants may also be allocated. As most grants are offered for
multi-year projects, every year only a limited portion of the total development budget may be
allocated for new projects. All grants are made public online at the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs’ Grants Portal, available at URL: http://udtilskudd.regjeringen.no
All grant applicants are expected to be aware of and demonstrate measures in the fight against
corruption, a clear gender perspective, and considerations of project impacts on the environment and
the vulnerability to climate change. Grant recipients are expected to be familiar with UN Security
Council resolution 1325 on women, peace and security.
All disbursements committed by the Norwegian Embassy, beyond the budget year of the grant letter,
are subject to parliamentary appropriations.

Germany
Development cooperation between Pakistan and Germany goes back to 1961, with the funding volume
to date totalling some 2.5 billion Euros. Pakistan was thus one of Germany's first partner countries. The
regional focus of this cooperation has traditionally been the north-western part of the country. Germany
is one of the few donors to have its own implementing structures. It is active in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa
Province (KP) and is one of a few of Pakistan's partners to be implementing measures in the Federally
Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) along the border with Afghanistan. Individual measures are also
carried out in Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Jammu Kashmir, Sindh and the Punjab.
Thematic Focus: The following areas are priority areas of cooperation:
 Governance
 energy
 education incl. vocational education and training
 health
Geographical Focus: German development cooperation has nation –wide projects and the agreed upon
focus on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).
Country Programme Strategy: Country Strategy 2015 to 2020 is under development.
Programmes and Projects: German Development Cooperation has a number of new and on-going
development initiatives i.e. Education, Energy, Health and Governance in Pakistan.

US Agency for International Development (USAID)
For more than 60 years, the United States and Pakistan have worked together to forge a relationship
that benefits the people of both countries. This cooperation produced transformative ideas and
institutions that are still being considered landmark accomplishments to this day. This cooperation is
fostering Pakistan’s economic and social progress as well as reinforcing the country’s role in the world.
The historic Enhanced Partnership with Pakistan Act of 2009, by now Secretary of State John Kerry,
launched a robust new era of cooperation with Pakistan on development. The infusion of new resources
provided for integrated, longer-term development programs in key sectors that are priorities for both
Pakistan and the United States.
Thematic Focus: The United States has a deep interest in a stable, democratic, and prosperous Pakistan,
as well as long-term constructive bilateral partnership. The USAID assistance program focuses on five
priority sectors with crosscutting themes of civic participation, accountability and women’s
empowerment:
1. Increased sustainable energy supplied to the economy;
2. Improved economic status of focus populations;
3. Increased stability in focus areas;
4. Improved opportunities for learning and work;
Improved maternal and child health outcomes in focus areas;
Geographical Focus: USAID programs are implemented in all areas of Pakistan, with a focus on underrepresented geographic areas, including:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
vi.
vii.
Federally Administered Tribal Areas
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Southern Punjab
Sindh
Balochistan
Gilgit-Baltistan
Azad Jammu Kashmir
Country Programme Strategy: USAID program strategies are based on the national development
priorities identified by the Government of Pakistan (GOP) in various sector development strategies. In
addition, the program strategies also take into account priorities expressed by the Pakistani public in
polling, media, and civil society discussions.
Programmes and Projects: Working with the GOP, other U.S. Government agencies, as well as
multilateral and bilateral donors, USAID Pakistan has focused its program over the last year on five areas
essential to Pakistan’s stability and long-term development and reflective of the GOP’s development
priorities. Over the last year, USAID has streamlined the number of projects to less than 70 and has also
chosen to implement over half of all funding through local government and non-government

is a vital element of USAID’s program, as is working with non-governmental organizations and the
private sector.

sector companies. In programs where USAID Pakistan partners directly with the GOP, USAID Pakistan
signs activity agreements with the implementing Pakistani government agency. Before any award is
signed, USAID Pakistan also conducts pre-award surveys of all government and non-government
institutions with which USAID Pakistan is considering signing a direct award. Currently, funding

The World Bank
The World Bank’s support to Pakistan is directly linked to country’s own development vision. The World
Bank, Pakistan is helping the Federal and Provincial Governments in implementing various reform
programs aimed at encouraging growth, investment, and employment generation. Reforms at the
provincial level are specifically aimed at improving delivery of social services like education, health, clean
drinking water, and sanitation. These efforts have yielded impressive results in many areas.
Thematic Focus: More precisely, the World Bank has been supporting the Government of Pakistan in the
following four strategic pillars emanating from the current country partnership strategy:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Economic governance
Human development and social protection
Infrastructure to support growth
Security and reducing the risk of conflict
Geographical Focus: The World Bank has been working in all provinces including Federally Administered
Tribal Areas (FATA)
Country Programme Strategy: The World Bank Country Partnership Strategy was updated with a
Progress Report in 2012 which in consultation with the Government of Pakistan now covers the period
up to 2014. The overall focus of the strategy is to help Pakistan's economy get back onto a path of high,
sustained growth. The partnership remains centered on the existing strategic pillars of the strategy and
evolving federal and provincial priorities as validated by the government and other stakeholders during
various consultation sessions. In consultation with the Government, the strategy period was extended to
include FY 2014 to synchronize it with the national political cycle and the IDA cycle.
The World Bank Group Pakistan is currently preparing its new Country Partnership Strategy for the next
five years, covering Fiscal Years 2015-2019. It will be designed to focus on the twin goals of ending
extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity.
Programmes and Projects: The World Bank uses lending and analytical work to help Pakistan achieve its
goals. Pakistan’s portfolio (IDA/IBRD/MDTF) consists of 34 projects with a total commitment of $4.4
billion. In addition, the Bank maintains an extensive and ongoing analytic work program on a wide range
of economic and sector specific topics.
The Regional agenda will continue to be a Bank focus. South Asia remains one of the least integrated
regions in the world, and this undermines growth efforts. Many of the Bank’s country-specific Pakistan
projects in trade and transportation, ports, and power will help regional cooperation. Beyond this, the
Bank expects to support increased trade cooperation between Pakistan and its neighbors. This will be
particularly important in strengthening the trade corridor with Afghanistan during its transition period. A

regional power line (CASA-1000) is also being supported that would connect Central Asia, Afghanistan
and Pakistan.

Implementing Partners: The World Bank works in collaboration with federal ministries, autonomous
bodies, and provincial/ regional departments throughout the country. The Bank has programs having
partnership with local civil society organizations and private sector.
Funding Allocation: To support the aforementioned thematic areas, the Bank will remain engaged with
a robust program projected at up to $4.0 billion in new IDA/IBRD lending over FY 2012-14. An increasing
portion of the Bank’s portfolio is being managed at the province level, consistent with the recent 18th
Constitutional Amendment. The Bank also manages a Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) of about $140
million for conflict-affected areas, which provides grants to Khyber PakhtunKhwa, FATA and Balochistan.

Funding Mechanism: The World Bank has rolled out an innovative lending instrument that ties funding
directly to the delivery of results. The newly introduced Program-for-Results (PforR) modality does not
provide financing to cover a program’s expense. Instead, it disburses money upon the delivery and
verification of predefined results. PforR is designed to help improve the capacity, transparency and
performance of a recipient country’s government systems and institutions focused on improving
national systems such as those for the health and education sector. It is to complement two existing
World Bank lending instruments: policy-based loans that fund policy changes and project-support loans
that finance project expenditures or inputs. PforR is used in combination with any or both of the two.
