C. Project Description 1. The Project will address low farm productivity, high poverty incidence, and pervasive food insecurity in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). It will increase agriculture production and household incomes by providing reliable irrigation to non-irrigated rain fed farmlands and non-cultivated lands. The project includes the construction of new irrigation infrastructure, improved on-farm water management through activities such as terracing and land leveling, and watershed management. The Project will also strengthen the project area’s natural resource base by improving selected watersheds, which will enhance the recharging of underground aquifers and reduce the impact of floods. The project will benefit 116,751 households, or about 1.4 million people, in the project area and improve about 9,700 hectares (ha) of land. 2. The project impact will be increased farm incomes in the project areas (Bajaur, Khyber, and Mohmand agencies), thereby reducing poverty and increasing household food security. The project outcome will be improved agricultural productivity of selected watersheds and conservation of their associated natural resource base. 3. Project outputs consist of (i) construction of new irrigation infrastructure, including nine small concrete gravity dams (each with a maximum height of 15 meters), 31 diversion weirs, and 95 kilometers of main and secondary irrigation channels; (ii) improved on-farm water management through construction of 144 kilometers of lined watercourses, terracing and land leveling on a command area of 4,615 ha, and installation of rain and stream gauges to measure water availability; (iii) improved watershed management on 5,050 ha through afforestation of the degraded watersheds and, where appropriate, the construction of check dams; and (iv) efficient project management and evaluation, including establishment of a project management unit and

11



three project implementation units, timely procurement of goods, works and recruitment of consulting services, and effective financial management. D. Project Monitoring Framework (Current Status)

Average irrigation requirements reduced to 3.70 mcm/ha from land leveling by 2020

The land development and levelling are finalized in 8 sub-projects measuring 45.60 ha and 62.27 ha respectively. CRVA and improved hydrological studies have been completed. Keeping in view changes (significant) in precipitation provided in CRVA study will be considered by the consultants for climate stations locations identification. Precipitation and temperature changes will be considered for flow gauging stations locations identification while other parameters such as accessibility, availability of bridges, source of seasonal and perennial water and suitability of sites will be considered by the consultants for flow gauging stations installation. The process of identification and selection of sites for gauges stations was to be completed by end of January 2019 but still pending. The PMU will coordinate with DI&H to avoid overlap with the approved sites in their PC-1. Meeting with DG MET Department was held on 8 August 2019.

Water measuring gauges installed and provide real time information

3. Improve Watershed-management

At least 5,050 ha of targeted watersheds have effective vegetation cover (2014 baseline = 0 ha)

C. Project Description 1. The proposed project will develop a new irrigated area of over 8,727 hectares (ha) in Swabi and Nowshehra districts located in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province (KPP). Water for agriculture in the project area currently depends on rainfall. As a result, cropping intensity and crop yields are low. The project will finance the extension of Pehur High Level Canal (PHLC) irrigation system, which will become a part of the Indus Basin irrigation system. This will increase agriculture production by increasing availability of water, improving water-use efficiency and farm management capacity in the project area. The population of the project area is about 75,000. 2. The project impacts, which are aligned with KPP Comprehensive Development Strategy, will be the following: (i) increased irrigated area, and (ii) ensured food security for 2010–2020. The outcome will be increased agricultural production in the project areas. 3. Output 1 of the project is “available agricultural water in project areas increased”. This includes the following components: (i) construction of the irrigation system in the Janda Boka–Malikabad area, (ii) construction of the irrigation system in the Indus Ambar area, and (iii) developments of efficient monitoring and evaluation system and sustainable PHLCE O&M plan and its guidelines. Output 2 of the project is “water-use skill and farm management capacity improved in project areas”. This output will further improve agricultural benefits resulting from output 1 and (i) construct watercourses, (ii) form and build capacity of water users’ associations, and (iii) train farmers for more profitable farming systems and efficient water use skills through demonstration activities and farmer field schools.

C. Project Description 1. The proposed Balochistan Water Resources Development Project is located in the Zhob and Mula river basins in the Balochistan. The project impact will be the increased farm income in the project area. The project outcome will be the increased agricultural production. The project outputs will be (i) irrigation infrastructure and watershed protection constructed and/ rehabilitated; (ii) command area expanded and improved; and (iii) institutional capacity strengthened. 2. The project will cost about $125.5 million and ADB will provide finance of $100 million and the government of Balochistan will provide the balance. The project will adopt an integrated water resources management approach for the irrigation development activities. The project will support implementation of the IWRM policy, and in turn supports and strengthens several principal elements of ADBs water policy, including: (i) improving the efficiency of water use and delivery; (ii) fostering water conservation and sustainability of infrastructure; and (iii) improving governance through beneficiary participation and capacity building. In addition to irrigation infrastructure, the project will help establish water resources information system for improved water resources management and monitoring, address watershed degradation by improving vegetative cover and undertaking physical interventions to reduce erosion in critical areas through integrated and participatory approaches. It will further seek to strengthen the capacity of and coordination between the agencies in charge of watershed management through the project implementation process. Improved on-farm water management is critical to raising cropping intensities and optimizing productivity increases from the investments in irrigation infrastructure. In addition, the project will support high value agriculture which is essential to improve farmers income in Balochistan. These aspects also form an integral part of the project design and will help to achieve benefits that would not be possible through investments in water resources infrastructure alone. 3. To address the GoB’s limited capacity and experience in data collecting and processing, the project will work in partnership with Pakistan Council for Water Resources to establish and maintain a water resources information system to strengthen GoB’s capacity to collect, transmit, process, and share hydrometeorology data for improved water management. The project design also explicitly recognizes the institutional, social, and cultural barriers to women’s empowerment and the impact this may have on access to and participation in water resources development activities. Female community organizers at the project’s implementing offices will collect data and information on the roles and responsibilities of women and assess their specific requirements. The possible effects of scheme development for women will be assessed and practical opportunities to develop and implement gender-specific interventions identified, particularly provision of efficient on-farm water and agronomic management and high value agricultural production.

B. TA Description 1. The TA will help ADB and the executing agency prepare an ensuing ADB-financed investment. The main canal and the first branch system of the Greater Thal Canal Irrigation System have been constructed by government financing in 2008. The proposed ADB-financing support will complete the construction of the rest of the branch systems with command area development for the entire system in a phased manner. An multitranche financing facility with a few tranches were originally planned, but ADB financing may comprise a few stand-alone projects. The first project will cover the construction of the second branch system and command area development for the existing main canal and the first branch system areas, may also be with the command area development of the second branch system area. 2. The WAPDA completed a feasibility study and detailed design for the entire scheme in 2008, and the Punjab Irrigation Department (PID) is preparing updated detailed design for the second branch system. The TRTA will develop overall investment planning for the entire scheme, and help preparation of the first project that include verification of the PID’s updated detailed design, estimating project cost estimate, assessing economic feasibility, safeguard due diligences, institutional assessment, risk assessment and other due diligences that are required for meeting ADB’s loan approval requirements.

Chiong Irrigation Department,

Government of Balochistan

B. TA Description 1. Balochistan is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts that threaten resource-poor farmers and women in rural communities. The Government of Balochistan (GOB) adopted the IWRM policy in 2006 with ADB’s support.2 The policy provides a comprehensive framework for the province to address water management and development using the basin approach, with water harvesting and groundwater recharging an integral part of watershed management. Since then, useful progress has been made in implementing the policies, but expected outcomes indicated in the policy have not been achieved due to lack of funds, weak institutional capacity, and poor data support. The effective implementation of the IWRM policy requires quantitative, reliable surface water and groundwater data, which are extremely limited in Balochistan. Moreover, there is no WRIS in Balochistan. The coverage and reliability of hydrological data are particularly poor, preventing well-informed planning and management of water resources. The province formerly had a network to monitor scarce and depleted groundwater resources in Pishin–Lora basin and surface water in major river basins, but most of the monitoring network is no longer functional because of inadequate funding support. 2. The TA is listed in the Pakistan country operations business plan, 2018–2020. The TA is estimated to cost $2,350,000 million, of which $2,000,000 will be financed on a grant basis by the Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction and administered by ADB. Balochistan lacks a provincial climate change policy, despite facing increased impacts from climatic variability coupled with extreme drought and flood events; meanwhile, the existing IWRM policy does not address potential risks, including droughts, floods, and groundwater depletion. The technical assistance (TA) will help strengthen Balochistan’s institutional capacity to address exposed climate change impacts and risks and build climate-resilient and sustainable WRM mechanisms that apply innovative, high-level WRIS technology. C. Summary of Major Outputs and Activities

The proposed KSTA aims to support WAPDA, as the proposed executing agency, to review existing data and studies, to identify essential design and information gaps and determine the scope and implementation arrangements for the additional investigations and other engineering, social and environmental analytical works that are necessary to ensure due diligence. The KSTA is likely to result in the comprehensive proposal for a subsequent transaction TA (TRTA) that would address the identified due diligence gaps and confirm the viability of the project for possible ADB financing. As the proposed TA will support identifying the critical knowledge gaps required for formulating and considering a TRTA, a KSTA would be an ideal vehicle 2.

Installation of one 600 MW (net) supercritical coal-fired unit and begin implementation of the 5-years O&M contract, by 2022

At the Government’s request, the loan and project agreements were amended in Mar 2018 on which: (i) JPCL is to deposit the full price of the land for ash disposal pond construction within 30 days from the signing of EPC contract and complete the land acquisition before commencement of civil works on ash pond; (ii) JPCL is to execute the power purchase agreement with CPPA-G within 12 months from the execution of EPC contract; (iii) JPCL is to execute the coal purchase agreement within 60 days of signing of EPC contract. These amendments deferred the earlier conditions and rationalized the contract award for EPC supercritical coal power plant. On 29 March 2018, EPC contract for a 600-MW supercritical power unit 1 and O&M (EPC-O&M, Lot 1) contract was awarded at the price of about $562 million and $89 million respectively. Subsequent to contract award, advance payments of $47.4 million was disbursed in June 2018 and $4.6 million in June 2019. To expedite payments, a supplementary appendix to Payment Schedules was issued in June 2019 allowing payments for the equipment already delivered on site and service already rendered which is more practical and achievable, as compared with the existing Price schedules on which prices are lumped and payments will only be made when full scope of equipment and services are delivered.

Outputs Performance Indicators Status with Key Activities Of the deferred conditions stated above, Item (i) was complied with in May 2019 when JPCL deposited the required amount for land acquisition to the account of the Sindh government. Sindh government is currently undertaking negotiation and payment to the affected people. In parallel, JPCL is expected to commence design and preparatory works. JPCL is also expected to subsequently update LARP in this regard. Item (ii), on the other hand, is yet to commence. Initial electrical load flow and short circuit study calculations and GSUT calculation were rejected by NTDC and are yet to be revised. Item (iii) was complied with when a master coal purchase agreement was finalized and signed with qualified bidders in July 2018. Combined with Unit 1, an EPC contract for the second unit of 600-MW (EPC-O&M Lot 2) is procured under single responsibility amounting to about $313 million. Award of such contract is pending availability of financing. Islamic Development Bank ($150 million), OPEC Fund for International Development Fund ($72 million), Saudi Fund ($50 million) and Kuwait Fund ($50 million) expressed interests in financing on which the Government’s decision is awaited. To allow time for the Government’s deliberation, the EPC contractor agreed to extend the bid validity to 11 December 2019. Donor coordination meeting is required to reconcile all different terms and conditions among 4 potential co-financiers..

National environmental standards complied with by Jamshoro TPS

Bioremediation of the contaminated soil by 2024

It was agreed with the EA to combine this scope with the EPC-O&M contract for seamless contract execution and management. ADB issued no objection in Mar 2019 on JPCL’s proposal for EPC-O&M Lot 1 contractor to conduct site investigation in at least 45 locations with at least 300 samples. Following the change procedure in the contract, EPC contractor is preparing a final contract amendment. After the site investigation, EPC-O&M Lot 1 contractor will propose a cost estimate for the needed bioremediation.

Outputs Performance Indicators Status with Key Activities Construction of hazardous

waste storage facility, effluent pipeline, landfill for colony waste and proper lined evaporation ponds by 2022.

Works on renovation of effluent evaporation pond (Lot 1) and construction of channel for discharging cooling water disposal channel (Lot 2) are completed. Construction of municipal waste disposal facilities (Lot 3) and construction of hazardous solid waste facility (Lot 4) is at 84% and 70% completion, respectively. Supply and construction of sewage treatment plant, on the other hand, is at 50% progress.

Installation of emission control devices (FGD) for the existing units by 2022.

The Ministry of Water and Power determined to either convert the oil unit into a gas fired unit, if gas is made available, or shut-down the existing units by the time of completion of coal fired power plant. However, the final decision should be made in consultation and agreement with Sindh EPA. It is noted that existing unit 1 – 4 are currently running on furnace oil due to the shortage of gas.

Executing agency and implementation agency staff capacity enhanced

At least 50 relevant staff (male and female) trained on project administration, safeguard, procurement, financial, and technical O&M aspects by 2022

Training manuals are yet to be prepared by the capacity development consultant, engagement of which was initiated in Sept 2017 . EOIs were received in December 2017 but JPCL determined to annul the EOI process due to absence of qualifying bidder. JPCL revised the TOR and will re-advertise the consulting assignment in end-Oct 2019.

Coal-fired power plant operation introduced in technical school curriculum

Inclusion of at least one subject related to coal-fired plant operation in a technical school by 2022

Not yet due. Appropriate curriculum design will be conducted by Capacity Development Consultant.

2. The project will construct a 62-kilometer (km) four-lane, access-controlled motorway connecting Gojra and Shorkot in Punjab Province, and improve the institutional capacity of the National Highway Authority (NHA), particularly for managing safeguards and contracts. Achievement of the project’s full benefits will depend on the completion of the remaining 64 km Shorkot-Khanewal section financed by ADB, AIIB and DFID, which is currently at advanced stage of implementation. Upon completion, the new M-4 will provide a four-lane, access-controlled alternative to the existing narrow and congested routes, notably in the heavily trafficked Faisalabad and Khanewal-Multan-Muzaffargarh areas. This will facilitate north-south connectivity, improve quality and efficiency of road transport services, and promote inclusive economic growth. D. Project Monitoring Framework (Current Status)

C. Project Description 1. The primary north-south transport corridor in Pakistan runs from Torkham on the northern border with Afghanistan and passes through primary production and population centers such as Peshawar, Islamabad, Faisalabad, Lahore, Khanewal, Multan, and Muzaffargarh, before reaching the port city of Karachi in the south. The corridor, which is about 1,800 km long, comprises national highways and motorways and connects the key centers of economic activity in the country. The corridor serves the economy of an area that accounts for 80%-85% of Pakistan's gross domestic product (GDP) and, in the regional context, forms an integral part of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) corridors 5 and 6. After Pakistan’s accession to the CAREC Program in 2010, the corridors have become vital trading routes between landlocked Central Asian nations and Pakistan’s warm-water ports of Gwadar, Karachi, and Port Qasim on the Arabian Sea. 2. The national motorway M-4, connecting Faisalabad with Multan, will be a part of the north south transport corridor. Its area of influence, which includes Faisalabad, Multan, and the entire Punjab province, accounts for about 56% of the country's population and for 59% of the country's GDP. The M-4 will extend the already completed M-1, M-2, and M-3 motorways southward and shorten the distance between Multan and the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi in the north. The Faisalabad-Gojra section (58 km) of the M-4 was completed in 2014 with financing from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), while the Islamic Development Bank supported the completion of the adjoining Khanewal-Multan section (57 km) in 2015. Civil works for the Gojra-Shorkot section (62 km), cofinanced by ADB and the Government of the United Kingdom, commenced in April 2016. The proposed additional financing is applied to the construction of the remaining 64 km section between Shorkot and Khanewal. Upon completion, the new four-lane, access-controlled M-4 will provide a faster, safer, and more cost-effective alternative to the existing narrow and congested routes, notably in the heavily trafficked Faisalabad and Khanewal-Multan-Muzaffargarh areas. 3. The increase in scope and the additional financing do not change the development objectives of the current project. The project is consistent with the strategic goals and government priorities. The transport sector in Pakistan contributes about 10% to the GDP and employs about 2.3 million people (about 6% of the active labor force of Pakistan). Road transport dominates Pakistan's transport system, accounting for almost 96% of freight traffic in ton-kilometers and 92% of passenger traffic in passenger-kilometers. An improved north-south corridor will reduce the time and cost of moving goods and people along the entire logistic and supply chain. It will be instrumental in removing one of the key constraints to raising competitiveness, attracting private sector investment, increasing productivity, as well as deepening and diversifying the industrial base. The project will thus go a long way of providing sustainable jobs to a growing population. The project is also consistent with ADBs country partnership strategy, 2015-2019 for Pakistan, fits with ADB’s Midterm Review of Strategy 2020, supports the CAREC Transport and Trade Facilitation Strategy 2020, and is included in ADB’s country operations business plan, 2016-2018 for Pakistan.

As part of CAREC’s initiative for trade facilitation, the project will help CAREC countries take advantage of more efficient trade routes through Pakistan, and reciprocally, encourage Pakistan to play a strategic role in creating a larger regional market for intra-CAREC and inter-CAREC trade. The project will be designed as a sovereign project financing as the operation of BCPs in Pakistan is with the public-sector domain. 2. The expected impact of the project will be an increased value of export, import, and transit trade. The expected outcome will be reduced cross-border processing time for goods and cargos in Torkham, Chaman, and Wagha.

C. Project Description The project will contribute to the economic and social recovery of areas in Punjab Province and the northern districts of Haveli, Kotli and Poonch, through the rehabilitation and reconstruction of high-priority infrastructure damaged and weakened during the floods in September 2014. The project focuses on the transitional phase of the emergency response for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of priority roads, bridges, irrigation and flood protection infrastructure damaged by the floods. The project will also support ex ante disaster risk management (DRM) capacity building to mainstream resilience in development planning. Reconstruction of damaged and at-risk infrastructure in the flood-affected areas will use appropriate and cost-effective multi-hazard resistant design and construction standards to mitigate the potential impact of future disasters. The Project design is based on the findings of the damage assessment reports prepared by the respective Punjab Planning and Development Departments (P&D) in January 2015 and facilitated by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and World Bank, in close coordination with the federal government and other donors.

B. TA Description 1. The TA is in line with the Country Partnership Strategy for Pakistan 2015-2019, which in turn is aligned with the Government of Pakistan's national strategy (Pakistan Vision 2025). One of seven pillars of the national strategy is modernization of transport infrastructure and greater regional connectivity, which this TA directly supports. 2. ADB has provided extensive support to Pakistan's transport sector which has in recent years focused on the upgrading of national highways and construction of new motorways. This is set to continue, with recently approved projects to support the construction of National Highways M-4, and planned projects to further develop CAREC Corridors through a Multitranche Financing Facility (MFF). In addition, projects have also been approved to develop provincial roads in Sindh province, and to improve infrastructure at key border crossing points with neighboring countries. The TA complements these efforts by enhancing the Governments capacity to manage the transport sector effectively, facilitate transport movement with neighboring countries, maintain road assets properly, and ensure safety on the roads being rehabilitated or reconstructed. 3. The TA strongly supports the implementation of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Transport and Trade Facilitation Strategy 2020, which places emphasis on the completion of six strategic multimodal corridors (two of which pass through Pakistan), and the shift of emphasis toward sustainability and quality of service of these corridors, addressed inter alia through (i) better maintenance of transport assets, (ii) road safety, (iii) transport and trade facilitation, and (iv) a multimodal approach to transport corridor development. These areas are directly supported through this TA.

B. TA Description 1. A late and concentrated monsoon, coupled with high flows in Pakistan’s eastern rivers resulted in flooding in the northern regions of Pakistan, Punjab and Sindh provinces in September 2014. The flood affected 44 districts across the country. It leads to the displacement of more than 2.5 million people, with major displacement and damage in central Punjab, which resulted in 367 deaths, and injured over 600 people. Nearly 110,000 houses were partially damaged or destroyed, over 1.1 million acres of agricultural land and 250,000 farmers were affected. This resulted in the loss of standing food, fodder or cash crops. Non-farm sources of livelihoods and services were also affected, including many small enterprises, manufacturing and processing businesses and losses of wage employment due to disruption of the economy. 2. In response to Government of Pakistan’s request to provide financial assistance for rehabilitating damaged infrastructure with improved resilience and strengthen its disaster management capacity in flood affected districts of Punjab and Azad Jammu and Kashmir, ADB approved the Flood Emergency Reconstruction and Resilience Project on 31 Dec 2015. ADB’s financial assistance includes a loan from its Ordinary Capital Resource for $218.04 million and a capacity development technical assistance (TA) grant for $2.0 million. The purpose of the TA is to ensure that the emergency assistance is implemented effectively, and efficiently. 3. The objective of the TA is to kick-start all essential project management functions, maintain a high level of dedicated due diligence capacity on all project operations to allow fast-track implementation, and shift the focus in DRM activities from post disaster responses towards disaster preparedness, mitigation and adaptation. The broad terms of reference for the TA include support for (i) establishing management systems in implementing agencies, including monitoring, procurement, financial, and reporting arrangements; (ii) augmenting the social safeguards, procurement, contract management, and technical due diligence capacity of the implementing agencies to fast-track implementation; and (iii) developing linkages to enhance DRM capacities, coordinate MHVRA and disaster mapping activities, and share DRM knowledge. The TA is to be implemented over 36 months starting from 1 July 2015 and cover the geographic area of the FERRP.

C. Project Description The proposed project will help develop a sustainable urban transport system in Peshawar by delivering the city’s first integrated BRT corridor, directly benefiting 0.5 million people. The project will comprise two interlinked outputs: (i) the construction of a 26-kilometer (km) BRT corridor and associated facilities, and (ii) effective project management and sustainable BRT operations through institutional developments. The project is economically justified by major time savings for future BRT passengers, vehicle operating cost savings, better air quality, and carbon emissions savings, which will improve the health of Peshawar’s citizens and mitigate climate change. The project will also make Peshawar more livable and safer, boost private sector investment, and foster gender equity.

Buenavente

B. TA Description 1. Pakistan’s rate of urbanization is unprecedented, where cumulatively the population of its cities has expanded by over 70% during the past 2 decades alone. As a result, its cities have and continue to experience relentless urban densification and expansion, resulting in ever-increasing demand for urban services and growing pressures on urban service institutions to deliver. This situation has become acute in many cities, and especially Pakistan’s intermediate cities, where urban delivery institutions are increasingly unable to cope, resulting in significant environmental degradation, unhealthy public spaces, and a severe shortage of civic amenities. The classic hallmarks of strained urban development are apparent in many cities, including unplanned and overcrowded settlements and residential areas, traffic-clogged streets and arterials, irregular and poor-quality water supplies, and serious environmental and public health impacts caused by poorly functioning liquid and solid waste management systems. 2. Fully recognizing livable cities as engines of economic growth and centers of culture and knowledge, the government has now placed urban sector development as a key priority of its national strategic development agenda. It has also amended the constitution to decentralize urban services, paving the way to build stronger institutional capacity in municipal governments so that they can respond more rapidly and effectively to the growing needs of individual cities as they evolve. So far, urban sector reforms have included selected cities of Punjab, which is Pakistan’s most populous province and generates half of the nation’s gross domestic product. In this context, the Government of Punjab (GOP) Urban Unit, has and continues to implement key urban sector reform initiatives in selected areas throughout the province, working closely with international development partners to upgrade and expand urban infrastructure, and reform and build capacity in infrastructure service delivery institutions. This has notably included support from the World Bank, which has provided assistance to five large cities of Punjab, and more recently from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through PICIIP (Phase 1).

C. Project Description 1. The project will support the Government of Pakistan’s national social safety net program, the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP). The project will enable the expansion of the cash transfer program (paid to the female head of targeted poor families) by registering an additional 2.4 million eligible families and financing the first few quarters of their cash transfers. In addition, it will support activities aimed at graduating BISP beneficiaries out of poverty and providing them sustainable livelihood and access to health services. The substantial fiduciary risk of the project will be mitigated through the strengthening of BISP financial management systems and capacity. 2. The outcome will be increased resilience for BISP female beneficiaries and their families. D. Project Monitoring Framework (Current Status)

Outputs Performance Indicators Status with Key Activities 1. Cash transfer program coverage expanded

Enrollment of eligible female heads of families with the CNIC increased Baseline: 70% in 2013, target: 95% in 2018

As of 31 Mar 2019, 855,052 beneficiaries have been enrolled under ADB loan out of total 5.4 million eligible beneficiaries receiving the cash transfers. The ADB beneficiaries are 16% of total eligible beneficiaries. BISP’s national socio-economic registry (NSER) was planned to be updated every 5 years. The poverty scorecard survey was completed in 2010. Data collection for the NSER Phase 2 is currently ongoing through implementing partners. The country has been divided into 8 clusters for the

Outputs Performance Indicators Status with Key Activities purpose. The new database is expected to be completed by Sep 2020.

Regular cash transfers received in time by all eligible beneficiaries (baseline 0 in 2013; target 2.5 million in 2020)

Q3 2014 – Q1 2019 cash transfer payments to new beneficiaries have so far been paid from project resources. The payments are being released to BISP beneficiaries on quarterly basis. However, the Q4 2018 and Q1 2019 instalments were reportedly not disbursed to the beneficiaries on time.

2. Graduation components (implementation between 2018 and 2020)

Income poverty sustainably reduced in the project area (baseline 0 in 2014, target 50,000 households by 2020) and social protection in health for BISP poor enhanced (baseline: 0 in 2014, target 20,000 households in 2020)

Pursuant to BISP Board’s decision and ADB’s amendment to the LA and the PA, a BISP Graduation Program (BGP) was designed for implementation in select districts on pilot basis. Two approaches, namely, Business Incubation for Self Employment (BISE), Inclusive Business (IB) and Direct Cash will be piloted under the Project using ADB’s $40 million (approx.) allocated for the BGP. On 17 November 2017, the Design Committee of BISP Board endorsed a program for graduation to be implemented in 2018 through June 2020. The fourth component of the BGP, the public works program, has been put on hold by the BISP Board.

2.1 Business incubation sub-component

Comprehensive business incubation provided to BISP and other poor and vulnerable beneficiaries (baseline: 0, target: 50,000 of which 30% women by June 2020

Poor households provided with BI will move out of poverty (Baseline: 0 in 2014, 50% of beneficiaries receiving comprehensive coaching and asset transfers in 2020)

Health insurance introduced and scaled to those receiving assets transfer (baseline: 0, target: 30,000)

Compulsory saving scheme introduced and scaled to those who receive assets (baseline: 0, target: 30,000)

For implementing BISE-IB component

the 5 districts selected are; Upper Dir

(Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), Awaran and

Harnai (Balochistan), Rajanpur

(Punjab), and Tharparkar (Sindh).

These have been selected on the basis

of UNDP districts ranking on the basis

of HDI.

The hiring of implementing partner for BISE-IB component is currently ongoing. The request for EOI was advertised on 15 June 2019 and then re-advertised on 18 October 2019 due to the change in scope, budget variance and inability of the NGOs in providing the Sales Tax Registration number, a mandatory requirement.

2.3 Public works sub-component

Public work schemes create temporary income opportunities for poor and vulnerable people. (Baseline: 0 on 2014, 30,000 jobs in 2020, of which 35% for women)

Some of the people receiving public work income move out of poverty (Baseline: 0 in 2014, target: 15% in 2020).

The public work programs generate community-based infrastructure that help rural people adapting to climate change and addressing environmental poverty. (Baseline: 0 in 2014, target: 30,000 people2 in 2020).

Schemes endorsed by provincial government and approved by BISP (baseline: 0, target: 4)

BISP refinanced costs to LGUs (baseline: 0, target: 4) Impact monitoring established and implemented (baseline: 0, target: 4)

Pursuant to BISP Board’s decision, the public works component has been shelved for the time being. A possibility to implement this component will be explored in consultation with the provincial governments.

2.4 Direct cash component

A reasonable share (45%) of BISP beneficiary households graduate out of poverty (Baseline: 0; target: 9,000 households by 2020)

BISP beneficiaries receive new health insurance that reduces their vulnerability to fall back into poverty. (Baseline: 0 in 2014; 20,000 in 2020),

The MOA has been signed between BISP, MHL consortium and Research Consultants. The timeline and workplan for the project has been developed for implementation in two districts. NOC for field activities has been provided by the Government of Punjab. Payment mechanism of the beneficiaries is being discussed with National Bank of Pakistan.

C. Project Description 1. Pakistan faces significant disaster risk and requires substantial financing to tackle it. The country and its population and assets are increasingly exposed and vulnerable to various types of natural hazards. It features in the list of the ten most vulnerable countries impacted by extreme weather events from 1995 to 2014. Increasing natural hazard events over the last 15 years have resulted in significant loss of life, economic damage, and the undoing of development gains. Floods occur frequently and have caused the greatest physical damage. More than 30 million people were affected by just three major floods in 2010, 2011 and 2014, resulting in damage and losses exceeding $14.0 billion. A major earthquake in 2005 caused more than 73,000 deaths and $5.0 billion in losses. The country faces tropical cyclone risk and droughts, including a drought in 2014-2015 which affected more than 3 million people. These events severely impact livelihoods of the poor and vulnerable, result in mass migration, and disrupt trade and commerce, and destabilize markets. Such events negatively impact government budgets, periodically placing significant additional demands on limited public resources for humanitarian relief, early recovery and reconstruction. 2. The Project will provide financial and technical support to the National Disaster Risk Management Fund (NDRMF), which is being established as a government-owned non-bank financial intermediary with a corporate structure. The NDRMF will reduce the socio-economic and fiscal vulnerability of the country and its population to natural hazards by prioritizing and financing investments in disaster risk reduction and preparedness that have high economic benefits, taking into account climate change, as well as disaster risks and their impacts. The government will pass on ADB loan funds to the NDRMF as a grant, for on-granting by NDRMF to eligible implementing partners. The NDRMF will finance up to 70% of the cost of eligible subprojects that will enhance Pakistan’s resilience to extreme weather events and other natural hazards. The NDRMF will also enter into insurance arrangements to develop markets for the transfer of residual risks that cannot be mitigated. D. Project Monitoring Framework (Current Status)

It will also help the Pakistan Government formulate a national capital market development master plan. The reforms under the program will serve to remove the binding constraints to the achievement of a vibrant capital market, such as (i) ad hoc government debt management practices and absence of a clear capital market development strategy for debt issuances; (ii) shallow and illiquid corporate bond and equity markets, and ineffective market facilitation; and (iii) fragile market stability. The TA will also explore the measures required to encourage broader participation of institutional investors in Pakistans securities markets, and to lay the groundwork for introducing alternative financing instruments, such as derivatives, as the financial markets develop.
