ADB AND UNICEF JOIN HANDS TO STRENGTHEN CLIMATE RESILIENT WATER AND SANITATION
SERVICES IN TWO MAJOR CITIES OF PAKISTAN


NEW PARTNERSHIP WILL BENEFIT UP TO 1.5 MILLION PEOPLE

05 March 2024
UNICEF/Pakistan/Fahad Ahmed

Islamabad, Pakistan, 5 March 2024 — The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the
United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) today signed a Letter of Understanding
(LOU) to collaborate on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and solid waste
management interventions under an ADB-funded project in the cities of Rawalpindi
and Bahawalpur in Punjab province of Pakistan.  

The agreement was signed by Yong Ye, ADB Country Director for Pakistan, and
Abdullah Fadil, UNICEF’s Representative in Pakistan, at UNICEF’s Pakistan office
in Islamabad.

“ADB and UNICEF are joining forces and renewing our shared commitment to
strengthen policy, legislative framework, and institutional capacity in
municipal service delivery, this time to improve the quality, coverage, and
reliability of urban services under the Developing Resilient Environments and
Advancing Municipal Services (DREAMS) Project,” said Mr. Ye. “The collaboration
will enable us to support the government’s efforts to address water supply and
solid waste management challenges in these two important and rapidly growing
cities.”  

Under the new partnership, ADB and UNICEF will collaborate to support inclusive,
resilient, and sustainable urban infrastructure and services in Rawalpindi and
Bahawalpur through public awareness and communication campaigns that will
improve behaviours and practices related to water, sanitation, and solid waste
management.  

The understanding reached between ADB and UNICEF Pakistan offices will help
promote sustainable, inclusive, and low-carbon municipal services that will
benefit up to 1.5 million urban dwellers in the two cities of Punjab, the most
populous province of the country.  

“Signing of this agreement further strengthens the existing collaboration
between ADB and UNICEF in Pakistan,” said Mr. Fadil. “Both organisations are
committed to leveraging collective expertise and knowledge to help increase
equitable access to water, sanitation and hygiene services and to reduce
vulnerability of citizens, especially children and women, to growing climate
change and environmental degradation.” 

The close synergies between ADB’s DREAMS project and UNICEF's WASH program
present a significant opportunity to enhance the impact of the programs,
ultimately leading to positive outcomes in water, sanitation, and hygiene that
will benefit communities in Pakistan. The agreement will also pave the way for
collaboration in future phases of the DREAMS project and other projects in
Pakistan.  

This is the second formal agreement between the two organisations at the country
level, following the collaboration to procure emergency medical supplies and
equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic.   

ADB is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and
sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate
extreme poverty. Established in 1966, it is owned by 68 members—49 from the
region.
