Supporting the Implementation of URAAN Pakistan and Policy Engagement

approved

This technical assistance (TA) will support sustainable, inclusive, and resilient growth in Pakistan by aiding implementation of the Government of Pakistan's new National Economic Transformation Plan (20242029) under the framework of Uraan Pakistan and aligning with strategic priorities of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The TA will focus on enhancing institutional capacity for strategic economic planning; public investment management; and conducting multistakeholder, sectoral problem-solving consultations. It aims to strengthen evidence-based policy formulation, improve the quality and efficiency of public spending under the Public Sector Development Program, and align development outcomes with the national vision outlined in the Uraan Pakistan road map. The TA will also assist in improving the processing and implementation of ADB projects by strengthening project readiness. Enhanced project readiness can reduce start-up delays and shorten the project completion cycle.
