WB downgrades Sindh project implementation progress

The World Bank has downgraded the implementation progress of its USD 100 million public sector reform programme in Sindh to "moderately satisfactory" from "satisfactory". The downgrade highlights delays in key institutional reforms, pending technical assistance approvals, and weaknesses in health financing, education budgeting, and statistical capacity.

While some reforms are underway and initial results have been achieved, several critical activities are at risk of delays, with the approval of the PC-I for the technical assistance component remaining essential to sustaining reform momentum.
