Punjab Community Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project

Are drinking water and better toilets finally available in Punjab? Learn how ADB has been working on bringing these services to one of Pakistan's poorest provinces.

Large-scale development projects, particularly infrastructure, have long life cycles from conceptualization to design and development to implementation to impact, typically a generation of 25-30 years. Infrastructure projects such as water, sanitation, and hygiene, are critical to a country’s development because water carries with it many of the elements of life without which life would be impossible and quality of life improbable.

ADB's Punjab Community Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project is a case that can be studied by policymakers and planners over a period of time covering three time periods in its current lifespan: (a) The expansion of a pilot project to a full proposal (2002), (b) project completion (2008), and (c) independent evaluation (2009). This case study was developed by the Asian Institute of Management for the Asian Development Bank.
