 Regional and Country Context
 
 
 
 Countries of the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan and Pakistan (MENAAP) region confront a vast array of development challenges, from an uncertain and uneven recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic to the implications of decelerating global economy, deepening geopolitical divisions, protracted regional conflicts, and climate change. These overlapping crises are amplified by longstanding structural relating to economic governance that contribute to an outsized presence of the state in the economy, high unemployment rates among women and youth, and limited intraregional trade and investment.
 
 
 Overcoming these challenges will allow MENAAP countries to realize their vast development potential, endowed as the region is with a rapidly growing and highly educated population, geo-strategic location, and abundance of renewable energy potential. To unlock this potential, the World Bank is advancing inclusive, sustainable, and resilient development through a two-pronged strategy that seeks to respond to sudden and severe crises while supporting reforms that spur structural transformation and job creation, advance gender equity, strengthen regional cooperation, and accelerate green transitions. This strategy is operationalized through a differentiated approach that reflects the distinct circumstances of the World Bank&rsquo;s clients in the region, comprising 22 countries that range from active IBRD borrowers and IDA recipients to recipients of reimbursable advisory services and non-active countries with whom the Bank maintains a policy dialogue. For more on the World Bank in MENAAP, visit www.worldbank.org/en/region/mena.
 
 
 The World Bank&rsquo;s MENAAP region consists primarily of the Front Office of the Regional Vice President, the Chief Economist, 7 Country Management Units, 4 Regional Directorships, and close linkages with Human resources (HR), Resource Management, and Corporate Security.
 
 
 The current Pakistan portfolio includes 53 active projects with the total financing commitment from IDA and IBRD of about US$ 16.4 billion. The projects are implemented at both the federal and provincial levels.
 
 
 In Sindh, currently there are 13 active projects with the total commitment of US$ 3.81 billion (including the two emergency projects in response to the 2022 floods which were approved in the second quarter of FY23. Two projects are also in the pipeline for this fiscal year. This represents the largest portfolio in terms of total commitment among the four provinces.
