Case Study: Pakistan

This session demonstrates how a ‘readiness checklist’ for projects under preparation helps achieve the expected project key results through improved quality of projects at entry. A case study on the Project Readiness Criteria adopted by the Governments of Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyz Republic helps participants understand how the filters work, how critical they are for sound project preparation, and how these best practices may be replicated by other DMCs for ADB funded projects.
