Annual Review Learning Synthesis To generate learning from a range of programme ARs and PCRs on specific themes that can be shared across the FCDO programming community to help programme teams designing future ODA programmes use best practice and avoid common issues with programme delivery modalities. These learning documents will be held on the Solutions Hub FCDO intranet page (currently under development) for internal FCDO use and communicated in line with other Solutions Hub products. The research is focused on the “how” of programme delivery rather than the “what” - i.e., how specific delivery approaches supported (or didn’t support) achievement of programme objectives, or common challenges with making programme delivery mechanisms work rather than what mechanisms led to change.  Synthesis products will, in the first instance, be focused on programme delivery modalities, including:
a.	Adaptive Programmes
b.	Programmes that have faced large ODA cuts in the last three years
c.	Centrally Managed Programmes
If the products produced based on this first iteration of the work prove useful then it is possible that further synthesis products will be commissioned that are focused on other delivery modalities or on specific thematic areas (e.g. education, climate and environment) or on specific geographies (e.g. East Africa, Indo-Pacific).  If required these will be outlined in subsequent ToRs.

Trimmu and Panjnad Barrages Improvement Project 1.	Trimmu and Panjnad Barrages Project (TPBP) will rehabilitate and upgrade the Trimmu and Panjnad barrages on the Chenab River, which supply irrigation water to 1.74 million ha through six main canals.  The project will (i) rehabilitate and upgrade the two barrages, and (ii) build institutional capacity in flood risk management. Trimmu barrage is located downstream of the confluence of Jhelum and Chenab rivers. Its flood passing capacity (FPC) is reduced from originally 18,265 cubic meters per second (m3s-1) to 12,743 m3s-1. The project will enhance the FPC to 23,220 m3s-1. Panjnad barrage is located downstream of confluence point of Sutlej and Chenab rivers. The project will enhance the barrage's FPC originally, from 19,822 m3s-1 to 24,495 m3s-1.
Naulong Integrated Water Resources Development Project The project readiness financing (PRF) from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) will prepare the Naulong Integrated Water Resources Development Project. The project supports the Government of Pakistans Vision 2025 and ADBs country partnership strategy for Pakistan, 2021 to 2025, which emphasizes the need for water, energy, and food security. It aligns with ADBs Strategy 2030 in addressing poverty and inequalities, gender equality, climate change, and rural development and food security. The project also aligns with Pakistan's Nationally Determined Contribution. Pakistan has committed to mitigating climate vulnerability and reducing its annual greenhouse gas emissions in 2030 by 20%. The PRF is included in ADBs indicative country operations business plan for Pakistan, 2021 to 2023. The national government approved the Planning Commission Proforma-I for the proposed PRF and the ensuing project in January 2022.

The PRF will ensure high-quality design, stakeholder engagement, and safeguards and procurement readiness and procurement support of the ensuing project. It will facilitate the timely and cost-effective achievement of the projects outcomes. The PRF builds on the project planning documents, including the feasibility study and associated studies commissioned by the Water and Power Development Authority. The PRF will validate the project design and update social and environmental safeguards documents and other due diligence assessments.

The project is in Jhal Magsi District of the Balochistan province. The provinces population represents 6% of the countrys population and and contributes up to 4.5% percent of the national GDP. Agriculture is central to Balochistans economy and about 72 percent of the population lives in rural areas and depends mainly on agriculture. The agriculture sector accounts for about one third of the provincial gross domestic product, employs two-third of its labor force and provides livelihood to half of its population. About 70 percent of farmers in Balochistan do not have access to regular source of water. Variability in water availability in Balochistan is far higher than the national average, and per capita water storage is only 20 percent of the national average that itself is already grossly inadequate in comparison to other countries in the region. Extended droughts and destructive flash floods are common, and are likely to worsen with future climate change projections. The people most vulnerable to water scarcity in Balochistan are the rural poor, especially women and children.
Balochistan Devolved Social Services The Goal of the Balochistan Devolved Social Services Program (BDSSP) will be to assist Balochistan Province achieve progress towards MDGs and BPRSP goals in education, health, and WSS. The objectives of BDSSP are to (i) improve access to affordable, efficient, effective and quality education, health and WSS in the public and private sectors; (ii) decrease income-, gender-, ethnic-, and geography-based inequities in social services; and (iii) strengthen local governments, private sector and communities to improve social service delivery.
The program has four principal areas: (i) provincial efficiency incentives; (ii) managerial power; (iii) citizen voice and empowerment; and (iv) private sector engagement.
BDSSP will provide policy reform support for province-wide devolved social services (education, health and and water supply and sanitation ) through performance grants and technical assistance. The performance grants will be transferred under the Balochistan Performance Grant Rules 2005, which define the implementation arrangements, procedures and monitoring and reporting channels and mechanisms.

The project is economically justified by major time savings for BRT passengers; vehicle operating cost savings; and better air quality and reduced carbon emissions through an innovative waste-to-fuel scheme, which will improve the public health and mitigate climate change. It will also make Karachi safer, greener, and more inclusive and competitive.The project is aligned with the following impact: quality of life in Karachi improved. The project will have the following outcome: use of quality public transport in Karachi increased.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Water Resources Development Project The Government of Pakistan requested PRF from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to prepare the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Water Resources Development Project. The project supports the Government of Pakistan's Vision 2025 and ADB's country partnership strategy for Pakistan, 2021-2025, which emphasizes addressing the food security constraints, building climate resilience, and investing in value-chain rural infrastructure developments importantly improving water storage and regulatory capacity, irrigation system upgrades, facilitating institutional transformation and sustainable maintenance and operational management of water resource systems.

Outputs and Activities: Output 1: Detailed engineering design, procurement, and safeguards documents prepared: The PRF will support the detail engineering design including technical, economic, financial, environmental, social safeguards, gender, climate change assessment, and beneficiary community participation. Detail design will include the review, validation, or upgrading of preexisting and ongoing studies, as well as additional surveys and studies. Integrated and innovative solutions using digital technologies, modernized irrigation methods, climate-smart agriculture practices, linkage of rural agriculture business with markets and strengthening the role of women will be incorporated in the design. The PRF will deliver projects with high level of procurement and safeguards readiness and will include updating the land acquisition and resettlement planning documents, social impact assessment, environment impact assessment, economic analysis, and gender analysis and a gender action plan.

Output 2: Project readiness financing implementation support provided and capacity of executing and implementing agencies improved: The PRF will augment project start-up and early implementation capacity of the executing and implementing agencies particularly in resettlement plan implementation, procurement transactions and strengthening the overall PRF implementation management capacity. The PRF will consult farming communities including women and other stakeholders and prepare agriculture value chain assessment for investment design. Digitization of irrigation and drainage system asset condition, farms level delineation, water resources and demand measurements, and system performance will strengthen capacities to sustainably design the operation and maintenance of the planned investments.
Private Participation in Infrastructure Program I The Private Participation in Infrastructure and Program (PPIP) aims to enhance economic growth through improved infrastructure services. The outcome will be enhanced private sector participation in infrastructure investment and maintenance to reduce the Government's fiscal burden and provide better infrastructure services to the population and enterprises.  To achieve these objectives, Subprogram ! will (i) strengthen the enabling environment for PPI by addressing remaining policy, legal, regulatory, and institutional constraints to PPI and (ii) provide technical and financial support for PPI projects.

The PPIP is a cluster program that will consist of Subprogram 1 and Subprogram 2 (the design of which will depend on the outcome of Subprogram 1 and the Government's emerging priorities).  A TA grant will support implementation of Subprogram 1 and capacity building initiatives required to support the Government's PPI initiatives over the medium-and long-term.

By promoting PPI, the operation will help the Government to leverage more financial resources into infrastructure by using the private sector as an intermediary. This will help to fill the gap between (i) the infrastructure the Government can afford and (ii) the infrastructure needed for economic development and poverty reduction, as articulated under the Government's Medium Term Development Framework (MTDF).
Renewable Energy Development Sector Investment Program - Project I To develop indigenous, nonpolluting, and renewable sources of energy to help meet Pakistan's power shortage and diversify the power sources. It will also improve the quality of the power system, specially in rural areas. Scope: Under the first set of subprojects North-West Frontier Porvince (NWFP) will develop a cluster of small hydropower from perennial high-head rivers that are abundant in the province. Punjab province will also develop a cluster of low-head, high-volume small hydropower stations that can be installed in the existing irrigation canal system with perennial water flows. The scope may get expanded to cover other renewable sources as well as other provinces in the future. An effort will also be made for capacity development of renewable energy sector related agencies.
Punjab Government Efficiency Improvement Program - Subprogram 2 Punjab is the largest provincial economy and the most populous province of Pakistan, accounting for over 50% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) and population. The economic performance of Punjab plays a critical role in the overall economic strength of the country. Punjab has achieved robust economic growth and significant poverty reduction in recent years. However, it still faces numerous development challenges. The first is the low living standard and high poverty incidence. Average per capita income in the province is about $1,000 which is about two thirds of the low middle income country average. Poverty ratio remains high at over 20%. The second is the low level of non-income well being as measured by social indicators. For example, over one third of children under 5 years of age are underweight. Third, Punjab faces large infrastructure deficits. There is acute power shortage, and 90% of the provincial road network is rated as "fair to poor". Fourth, Punjab needs productive employment opportunities. Each year nearly 1.6 million youth enter the labor force. The official unemployment rate of 8% underestimates the degree of unemployment due to prevalent under reporting. Three quarters of the nonagricultural employed labor force is in the informal sector.  

Addressing Punjab's development challenges requires the province to maintain 7-8% growth per annum. Yet, long run economic growth since the 1970s has only been about 5%. Punjab's growth must also be inclusive. This requires the provision of infrastructure and social services to enable the poor and vulnerable to participate in economic development.  

The Government of Punjab (the government) has set accelerating income growth and improving social services as its twin development objectives. Punjab's Vision 2020 envisages the doubling of per capita income to about $2,000 by 2020 and significantly improved service delivery. Realizing that Punjab's Vision requires an efficient public sector and a dynamic private sector. The government has identified an efficient, accountable, and capable public sector as the key institutional foundation for achieving Punjab's development objectives. These elements underpin the design of the Program.
Sindh Secondary Education Improvement Project, Additional Financing The proposed project is aligned with the following impact: inclusive and equitable quality education for all ensured. The outcome is Inclusiveness of secondary education system in Sindh increased. The project will support this outcome through the outputs of Sindh Secondary Education Improvement Project. The SSEIP AF will fund reconstruction and rehabilitation of 1,000 schools (250 fully damaged schools and 750 partially damaged schools) in the 15 most affected tehsils (an administrative subdivision of a district) in the five districts in north Sindh. At least 100,000 students at primary and secondary schools (grade 1-12) will have access to schools. Priorities will be given to girls' schools and mixed schools (boys and girls) with at least 50% of students benefiting from the project being girls. The schools will have disaster and climate resilient designs. In responding to acute shortages of secondary schools especially in rural areas in the five project districts, 62 primary schools will be upgraded to secondary schools by building secondary education blocks in the existing school compound to increase transition rate from primary to secondary education. Moreover, after the completion of reconstruction of 1,000 schools, private sector will be responsible for school management including maintenance and operations of school facilities and equipment, based on an ongoing successful public-private partnership model operated in education sector in Sindh.The government has requested concessional loan of $275 million from ADB's ordinary capital resources to help finance the project as emergency assistance loan. The project will be implemented from December 2023 to December 2027.
Building Resilience with Active Countercyclical Expenditures Program The principal objective of the Program is to mitigate the adverse socio-economic effects of the economic crises and enhance the resilience of poor and vulnerable groups to socio-economic shocks. The scope of the proposed program includes implementation of (a) increased social protection measures; (b) increased food security measures; and (c) enhanced support for business.
Karachi Bus Rapid Transit Project Project Design Advance (previous name: Karachi Mass Transit Project Design Advance) The project will contribute to developing a sustainable urban transport system in Karachi through the delivery of a bus rapid transit (BRT) corridor, focusing on accessibility and people's mobility needs. It will aim at organizing the urban growth and public space along the selected corridor through integration of land-use and transport planning (transit-oriented development), making the city more pleasant to live in, providing a holistic solution for integrated urban mobility, and bearing a demonstration value as no modern mass transit system exists in Karachi yet.
