ADB Allocates $180 Million for Infrastructure Development in Sindh’s Coastal Areas

Islamabad, The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is set to inject USD 180 million into a project that will enhance forest areas, drainage systems, and road infrastructure in Sindh, Pakistan. The investment aims to bolster environmental protection, job creation, and sustainable growth in the region’s hard-hit coastal zones.

According to Zameen.Com, the initiative was outlined during a discussion between Sindh Minister for Irrigation and Food Jam Khan Shoro and an ADB delegation led by Dr. David Freuilich. The meeting highlighted plans for comprehensive infrastructure upgrades, particularly in the coastal districts of Thatta, Sujawal, and Badin, which have recently suffered from severe weather impacts.

The project will commence with an extensive survey, design, and mapping of the Indus Delta, targeting the enhancement of the Karo Gondro drain and the inclusion of the Shakoor drain. Minister Shoro expressed the urgency of these measures to facilitate the area’s recovery and future resilience.

Dr. Freuilich reiterated the ADB’s dedication to supporting Pakistan in addressing environmental challenges, enhancing food security, promoting agricultural advancements, and preserving cultural landmarks within these communities.
