Asian Development Bank and Pakistan: Fact Sheet

Abstract

Updated yearly, this ADB Fact Sheet provides social and economic indicators on Myanmar as well as concise information on ADB's operations in the country and contact information. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been working with the Government of Pakistan since the founding of ADB in 1966. Other ADB partners include the European Union (EU), the Islamic Development Bank (IDB), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the United Nations (UN), and the World Bank. Most recently, ADB and the World Bank jointly completed a damage and needs assessment to quantify damages, losses, and resultant needs caused by 2011 floods in Sindh and Balochistan. Under the aegis of the Friends of Democratic Pakistan, ADB led the Pakistan Water Sector Task Force to assess Pakistan’s water sector outlook. The study, expected to be finalized in the first quarter of 2012, will provide strategies and action plans for water sector development in Pakistan.
