Pakistan: National Highway Development Sector Investment Program
Resettlement Planning Documents


The Investment Program is to advance policy reform in Pakistan to create an enabling environment for the efficient and sustainable development of the national highway network. It will also support growth in trade by improving regional connectivity on the Asian highway network and thereby contribute to economic growth and poverty reduction. The Investment Program is designed to achieve two specific objectives. The first is to improve transport efficiency by

  • facilitating adoption of a national transport policy
  • strengthening NHA performance in managing the national highway network
  • improving road safety
  • improving road maintenance and road maintenance funding

The second objective is to increase private sector participation in the road sector by

  • increasing outsourcing of road works
  • exploring opportunities for private operation of NHA assets and activities along its right-of-way.

To realize these objectives, the Investment Program will comprise national highway improvements and institutional strengthening.
