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 over all 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 the 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 donors included in this compendium has been much appreciated. Based on the information collected, two categories of information are being compiled and documented: A profile of each donor summarizing key programmatic focus as per their country programmes, sector focus, geographical presence, and funding priorities and allocations. A complete compendium of donors’ programmes and funding (which is being compiled separately). The mapping and profiles was carried out in two phases. In the first phase, the study focused on major traditional donors like the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Australian Aid for International Development (AusAID), Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), 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. Summary of Donor Profiles
Detailed Donor Profiles:Asian Development BankSince its founding in 1966, ADB has been working 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 help create an environment in which people can share in the benefits of sustained and inclusive growth. ADB assists developing member countries evolve into thriving modern economies that are well integrated with each other and the world. Thematic focus: ADB is working 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 life of citizens while focusing on the following areas: Investment and Reforms in Energy and Infrastructure Reforms to Strengthen Governance and Promote Structural Transformation Development of Urban Services 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 in the country for 2009-2013, aligned with Pakistan’s own Development Strategy 2020. The ADB's comparative strengths complement efforts of other development partners. Based on the aforementioned thematic area, 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 2013-2014OBP) 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, and 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 and 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, and 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. Implementing Partners: As a multilateral development bank, ADB collaborates with the Government of Pakistan and the State Bank of Pakistan. Through the implementation of its microfinance lending and technical assistance, ADB has also entered into partnerships with the Khushhali Bank, the Bank of Khyber, and a number of NGOs involved in microfinance in the country. Funding Allocation: ADB’s indicative resources for the two year period, 2013–2014, are US$ 2,180 million, including US$ 720 million Asian Development Fund (ADF) and US$ 1,460 million Ordinary Capital resource (OCR). The total firm lending program proposed for Pakistan in 2013–2014 amounts to US$ 2,468 million (US$ 1,108 million ADF, US$ 1,360 million OCR) for 17 loans in the priority sectors, an annual average of $1,234 million a year. About 55% of this (and 90% of OCR) lending will be provided through multi tranche financing facilities (MFFs). The non-lending technical assistance program for 2013–2014 currently stands at about US$ 10.05 million for 14 projects, mainly project preparatory technical assistance. Efforts will be made to mobilize co financing for technical assistance projects. Total ADB’s lending facility to Pakistan, as of December 2012, amounted to US$ 22,571.89 million as per following sectoral distribution: 
Funding Mechanism: ADB provides funding to Pakistan by using lending, non-lending and cost-sharing arrangements. The main devices for assistance are, however, loans, grants, policy dialogue, technical assistance and equity investments.
