Rural Enterprise Modernization Project
Pakistan

The overall objective of the TA loan is to create and diversify job and income-earning opportunities in the Project area, particularly for the landless, wage earners, and women. The TA loan will:

  • fill major gaps in information and analysis on rural nonfarm micro- and small enterprises (MSEs) and consolidate this information in a knowledge management system;
  • identify and initiate carefully targeted pilot interventions to support rural MSE development; and
  • assess institutional support processes and the feasibility of establishing an autonomous, not-for-profit entity to facilitate rural MSE development.

The Summary Poverty Reduction and Social Strategy indicates that impact on ethnic groups is not significant. The Project is targeted at a cross-section of the rural population in Pakistan to ensure that all ethnic groups are afforded the opportunity to benefit from the process of rural modernization being facilitated as part of the Project.
