Furthermore, these investments can benefit certain foreign investors with very little, if any, focus on improving water governance and increasing transparency and accountability in.the water sector investments, while increasing Pakistan's debt.  To counter this and promote U.S. private sector opportunities in challenging markets sometimes dominated by such investments, USAID will provide technical assistance to energy sector institutions. This intervention plus private sector collaborations will support the government's transition to clean energy, and make the sector reliable, affordable, and financially sustainable. These interventions will also strengthen governance and management of energy infrastructure which will promote transparency and contribute to energy resilience and independence.  Activities will support efforts to decarbonize the energy sector, facilitate access to climate finance and improve the resilience of energy infrastructure to climate change.  Activities will engage with government and local businesses, while targeting various levels of the power supply chain -- from generation to transmission to distribution -- and ultimately, the end consumer.
