The World Bank approved $700 million for Pakistan under its PRID-MPA program, with $600 million allocated to federal programs and $100 million to Sindh province.  The lender said the funds will be released under the bank’s Public Resources for Inclusive Development — Multiphase Programmatic Approach (PRID-MPA), which could provide up to $1.35 billion in total financing.     Of this amount, $600m will go for federal programmes and $100m will support a provincial programme in Sindh.    The approval follows a $47.9m World Bank grant in August to improve primary education in Punjab.  Through the PRID-MPA,  the bank is launching a  nationwide approach to support reforms that expand fiscal space, bolster investments in human capital and climate resilience, and strengthen revenue administration, budget execution, and statistical systems.  (ICE ISLAMABAD)
