CDWP clears three KP infrastructure projects worth Rs100 billion for Ecnec review
Published · Updated
What happened
The Central Development Working Party cleared three Khyber Pakhtunkhwa projects valued at about Rs100 billion and referred them to Ecnec for final consideration. One of the projects is a Rs69.89 billion climate-resilient irrigated agriculture program with Asian Development Bank co-financing.
Why it matters
CDWP clearance moves the projects from technical screening to a federal approval stage where financing terms, phasing, and execution conditions can still be shaped. Because the package combines provincial infrastructure spending with external co-financing, the next steps affect public outlays, development sequencing, and donor-backed project preparation.
Pakistan's Central Development Working Party approved and forwarded to the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council three Khyber Pakhtunkhwa infrastructure projects with a combined estimated cost of Rs100 billion. The package includes a Rs69.89 billion climate-resilient irrigated agriculture project backed by Asian Development Bank co-financing. The move creates a near-term federal financing and approval decision, tying development allocations in KP to both external funding mobilization and center-province implementation capacity.
