The Asian Development Bank is a long-standing development partner of Pakistan, having provided a total of US$12.7 billion to the country in development assistance from December 1968 to December 2002. Of this amount, US$1.1 billion were provided in 2002. In 2003 the level of assistance is expected to be about US$900 million, and the projected assistance for the period 20042006 about US$2.7 billion. Historically, the major development sectors in which ADB has invested have included agriculture and rural development, energy, social sectors, finance and trade, and transport and communications. Under its Country Strategy and Program for Pakistan for 2002-2006, reduction of poverty is the central objective, which is operationalized through promoting sustainable pro-poor growth, inclusive social development, and good governance, with governance being the key area of focus
