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. Investment and reforms in energy and infrastructure2. Reforms to strengthen governance and promote structural transformation3. Development of urban services4. 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.

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

of 53

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. Human security, rule of law and human rights and 2. 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.

of 53

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 non-government entities as well as with UN agencies. A brief account of these partnerships is below:

1. 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.

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:

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 post-2014 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 (2012-2014) 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.

of 53

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.

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. Economic governance2. Human development and social protection3. Infrastructure to support growth4. 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.

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 18 th 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.

An overview of the Bank’s fiscal commitments to Pakistan over the period from FY 2009 to FY 2013 is given in the following table.

Commitments by Fiscal Year (in millions of dollars)FY 2009 1,610FY 2010 300FY 2011 1,553FY 2012 1,790FY 2013 744

Total 6,136

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 project-support 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.

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.
