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 overall 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 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 partners 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 profiling was carried out in two phases. In the first phase, the study focused on major
traditional donors like the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs
and Trade (DFAT; formerly AusAID), the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and
Development, 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 establishment in 1966, ADB has worked 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 helps to create an environment in which people can share the benefits of
sustained and inclusive growth. ADB assists developing member countries to evolve into thriving
modern economies, which are well integrated with each other and the world.
Thematic focus: ADB works 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 citizens’ life 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 for 2009-2013 and is aligned with Pakistan’s own Development Strategy 2020. The
ADB's comparative strengths complement efforts of other development partners. Based on the
aforementioned thematic areas, 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 2013-2014 OBP) 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. 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 (including 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 as well as 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.

Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT)1
DFAT 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: DFAT 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
General development support
Geographical Focus: DFAT 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 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: DFAT has invested US$ 297.4 million in Pakistan over the previous three
years. Its investment has contributed to important development results such as:
1. 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.
During 2012-13, DFAT 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, non-governmental
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 million4. 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.

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: The policy shift of the Dutch development cooperation have resulted in
the decision of the government of the Netherlands to end its current bilateral development cooperation
program in Pakistan. Therefore, all projects in education, water and 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 and
environment, and governance.
Programmes and Projects: The current focus of the Dutch bilateral development cooperation 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 aimed at implementing electoral reforms, strengthening
the functioning of Parliament, supporting community and public institutions for improved governance,
protecting basic human rights and finally 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.

Project End Date
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 22 of 55
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 focus on 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 nongovernment entities as well as with UN agencies. A brief account of these partnerships is below:
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 was 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 measures granting the country emergency autonomous trade preferences effective
as of November 2012. As a result, certain export goods can enter the EU duty free or will be subject to
certain ceilings (tariff rate quotas).
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 resource 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.
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:
Page 24 of 55
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. Among other issues such as water, Afghanistan post2014 and media, Kashmir was the main focus of the initial contracting period and will remain one of
the main angles for the next 18 months.
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:
`
Funding Mechanism: EU provides funding through development grants and technical assistance in
priority areas agreed upon by the member states.

Norway
The Government of Pakistan and Norway have long standing relations. Norway established diplomatic
relations with Pakistan when it gained independence in 1947 and there has 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. In 2014, Norway’s development priorities for Pakistan 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
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.
Page 27 of 55
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.5
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 and has a funding volume
of some 2.5 billion Euro to date. 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 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 GilgitBaltistan, Azad Jammu Kashmir, Sindh and the Punjab.
Thematic Focus: The following areas are priority areas of cooperation:
 Governance
 Energy
 Education including vocational education and training
 Health
Geographical Focus: The German development cooperation has nation–wide projects with a focus on
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).
Country Programme Strategy: The 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.

The JICA Pakistan Office was established in 1983 under the Exchange of Notes signed between the
Government of Pakistan and the Government of Japan. It is part of a network of more than 90 offices
worldwide. An agreement was signed between the two governments in April 30, 2005, which will
facilitate technical cooperation through JICA in Pakistan more effectively under a solid umbrella
framework.
Thematic Focus: JICA has defined the following three priority areas for development assistance to
Pakistan:
1.
2.
3.
Ensuring human security and human development
Development of a sound market economy
Achievement of balanced regional socio-economic development
Geographical Focus: JICA’s development programme and projects have a county-wide coverage with a
focused approach towards neglected areas of the country.
Country Programme Strategy: JICA follows the Country Assistance Program of the Government of
Japan, which defines medium and long term goals for the country aimed at "building a sustainable
society." Under this specific goal JICA strengthens polio eradication and immunization measures, and
provides water and sewer infrastructure as well as institutional arrangements to respond to rapid
urbanization. JICA also provides assistance for building power transmission and road networks primarily
through ODA loans and strengthens domestic industries through technical cooperation. Other assistance
JICA provides includes technical assistance for disaster preparedness at the national level while utilizing
Japan's expertise as a country frequently being affected by natural disasters.
Programmes and Projects: Consistent with these priorities, JICA actively implements a range of sector
specific programs, which are agreed upon by both, the governments of Japan and Pakistan. The sectors
that the Government of Japan has mainly focused on are health and sanitation, education, irrigation and
water resource development, agriculture, industrial development, governance and environment.

The World Bank
The World Bank’s support to Pakistan is directly linked to country’s own development vision. The
organization supports 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: The World Bank has supported 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 to get back onto a
path of high and sustained growth. The partnership remains centered on the existing pillars of the
Strategy and evolves 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 in order 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 undermining 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 and regional departments throughout the country. The Bank has programs and
partnerships 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. PforR complements two existing
World Bank lending instruments, namely policy-based loans that fund policy changes and projectsupport loans that finance project expenditures or inputs. PforR is used in combination with any or both
of the two.

International Fund for Agricultural Development
IFAD's work in Pakistan aims to combat rural poverty by promoting rural development. It is active in the
country since 1978. Comprehensive assessment tools, such as the Country Programme Evaluation and
the Country Strategic Opportunities Programme (COSOP), enable IFAD to fine-tune its efforts. For
example, the most recent COSOP calls for an emphasis on high-value crops, livestock development,
market access and climate change mitigation. These recommendations inform both current and future
projects and help ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of IFAD's work.
Thematic Focus: To achieve these objectives, IFAD's strategy focuses on:




Eradicating poverty in vulnerable and remote areas
Achieving community participation
Identifying opportunities for innovation
Supporting partnerships between the public and private sectors.
Geographical Focus: In order to ensure that the Country Programme has a sustained impact on reducing
rural poverty, IFAD focuses its support on areas that have a high incidence of poverty or that suffer from
specific development problems due to their geographical location. In coming years, greater efforts will
be made to promote local innovation, policy dialogue and knowledge management.
A defining characteristic of IFAD's strategy is its focus on people. By promoting skills enhancement,
vocational training and access to financial services, IFAD aims to provide rural households with wider
opportunities, including increased access to markets and to partnerships with the private sector.
Country Programme Strategy: According to the COSOP developed in 2009, IFAD's overarching strategic
objectives in Pakistan are:
a. to connect rural people with the skills, services and technologies that will enable them to
increase productivity;
b. to build and support local capacity through the promotion of participatory development
processes.

Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA)
The fact that Korea graduated from being a recipient country to becoming a donor country in such a
short period of time is an impressive example of the successful transformation of an economy. By
sharing its first-hand experiences, Korea can greatly contribute to the development of other emerging
economies. In this vein, the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) was established in 1991 as
the implementing partner for grant aid and technical cooperation. It aims to resolve global development
issues in concert with the international community by contributing to the sustainable socio-economic
development of developing countries and by assisting their efforts to reduce poverty and improve the
quality of life.
The KOICA Pakistan Office was established in 2010 and currently carries out five projects, mainly with
focuses on ICT, textile industry, water resources and the construction of facilities such as vocational
training centers. In addition, KOICA offers short and long term training program as part of its technical
cooperation, where more than 1000 Pakistani government officials were sent to Korea to participate.
They have forged a strong cooperative partnership with KOICA through its alumni association.
Through the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, South Korea, KOICA actively
participates as a policy maker in the field of international development to ensure that development aid
leads to tangible and sustainable improvements and to address the post-2015 development agenda.
Thematic Focus: KOICA has four thematic priority areas and seven sectorial priorities in Pakistan.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Developing human resources
Improving health
Assisting the rural poor
Providing humanitarian assistance
The sectorial priorities include:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Water and sanitation
Education
Agriculture and rural development
Health
Industries (i.e. textile, agriculture) and energy
Science and technology
Disaster relief
Geographical focus: At present, KOICA has development projects mainly in the Punjab province with a
strategic focus on a comprehensive agricultural and rural development.
Country Programme Strategy: Korea’s development cooperation programme for Pakistan is outlined in
the 2014 Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) published by the Korean Government. The CPS 2015 is
currently under development. The Grant Aid Program involves the construction of facilities, the
provision of equipment, training and the dispatch of experts from Korea and vice versa.
