Description

The objective of the TA loan is to help the Government develop infrastructure sectors in an integrated manner as economic development requires a comprehensive approach in terms of transportation, provision of electricity, and water resources. Focusing on improved infrastructure sector deliveries, the TA loan will (i) enable infrastructure sector institutions to conduct project preparatory activities in a timely manner and at international standards and best practices; (ii) ensure implementation readiness of the subprojects as well as the subsequent infrastructure projects, and (iii) improve institutional capacities within the infrastructure agencies to meet such strategies, business management needs, and process changes as required by recent sector policies, reforms, and regulatory agencies. The TA loan will further enhance infrastructure agencies' capacity to develop a project program and pipeline, and ensure implementation of identified projects. The TA loan will prepare follow-on projects intended for downstream ADB public and private sector financing modalities, as well as for non-ADB financing.

A number of individual subprojects will emerge during the TA loan for each of the infrastructure sectors, and consulting services will be required for each subproject. Specific information regarding the subprojects will be provided at a later stage.

Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy That ADB is a key strategic partner of Pakistan in the infrastructure sectors was most recently reiterated in the 2005-2006 CSPU. The country strategy recognizes that substantial infrastructure development is required if the Government is to reduce poverty, and it is part of ADB's areas of intervention: (i) supproting good governance; (ii) pro-poor economic growth (infrastructure, rural development, job creation; and (iii) extensive social development (education, health, water supply and sanitation, and social protection). Infrastructure development, either rehabilitation or development of facilities, forms an integrated part of the pro-poor economic growth. Individual infrastructure sector plans translate into sustainable pro-poor growth and seek to reduce poverty by financing infrastructure projects that would most reduce poverty. The approach allows ADB to draw upon its strong experience and institutional knowledge within these infrastructure sectors. Different funding modalities will be utilized, such as the ADF and OCR lending operations, guarantee facilities, TA and private operations.
