Procedure DLI 1. By 2021, access to electricity is provided to an additional 240,000 households and 2,600,000 students in un-electrified and poorly electrified areas. 2016 baseline: 0 All targets are cumulative and provide the minimum threshold for disbursement without prejudice to the arrangements for partial disbursement. Disbursement targets for KPP: Households: 2017: 40,000 2018: 80,000 2019:120,000 2020: 180,000 2021: 240,000 Students: 2017: 160,000 2018: 320,000 2019: 480,000 2020: 640,000 2021: 800,000
Disbursement targets for Punjab Students: 2017: 340,000 2018: 780,000 2019: 1,120,000 2020: 1,460,000 2021: 1,800,000
Definition: For MHP, the DLI refers to the total households connected to the MHP grids provided by the RBL program. For solar sources, the DLI refers to the total number of students in schools provided with solar electricity by the RBL program, to be obtained from education authorities.
Conditions for disbursement are met when (i) the total number of households provided with electricity by the program from MHPs equals or exceeds the annual cumulative target specified, and (ii) when the total number of students in beneficiary schools is equal to or exceeds the annual cumulative target specified. In KPP, MHP component counts for 80% of full disbursement and solar sources component counts for 20% of full disbursement. For example, if all the household targets are achieved but student targets are not, then 80% of the target amount allocated for KPP for that year will be disbursed.
Partial disbursement: The DLI is scalable and partial disbursement is allowed for each of the above components. If the target is not fully achieved, then disbursement is proportional to the increase made from the previous period’s targeted achievement for that component. The following formula will be applied: Partial DLI disbursement = planned DLI disbursement for the period (actual achievement of the current period – targeted achievement of the previous period) / (targeted achievement of the current period – targeted achievement of the previous period).2
Disbursements are allowed for early or late achievement of the DLI. This means that the planned disbursement amount for a given year can be released when the set target is fully achieved, even if the achievement is a year or more late, as long as this is within the loan period. If the target achievement is early, early disbursement can be made.
KPP: PEDO reports drawn from its PPMS.
Punjab: EDP reports drawn from its PPMS. Frequency for reporting will be annual.
PEDO or EDP prepares an attestation that the DLI is met and attaches the relevant report. The IVA will verify the results each year first, from the administrative records. These will be the number of consumers per site and schoolchildren in connected schools in KPP and the number of schoolchildren in connected schools in Punjab. Second, the IVA will back this up with random spot checks of communities, and schools in field visits. Field trips may be combined as appropriate for DLIs 1 to 5, with checking of different elements for each DLI on the same field trip.
Within three weeks of receiving the independent verification report, ADB confirms that the target is met and initiates the process of disbursement.
DLI 2. By 2021, power generation capacity from clean energy sources is increased by an additional amount of 182 MW. 2016 baseline: 0 All targets are cumulative and provide the minimum threshold

Punjab, and the University of Bahawalpur. For each province, installed power generation capacity will be added up. There is no need to disaggregate by type of renewable sources.
Conditions for disbursement are met for each province when the total installed capacity from the above sources reach or exceed the megawatts specified in the annual target for that province.
Partial disbursement: The DLI is scalable and partial disbursement is allowed. If the target is not fully achieved, then disbursement is proportional to the increase made from the previous period’s targeted achievement. The following formula will be applied: Partial DLI disbursement = planned DLI disbursement for the period (actual achievement of the current period – targeted achievement of the previous period) / (targeted achievement of the current period – targeted
3 achievement of the previous period). Disbursements are allowed for early or late achievement of the DLI. This means that the planned disbursement amount for a given year can be released when the set target is fully achieved, even if the achievement is a year or more late, as long as this is within the loan period. If the target achievement is early, early disbursement can be made.

report. The IVA will verify the results each year through (i) a review of program records on delivery, installation and capacity of power source and (ii) backed up by field spot checks. The verification process will take into account the different capacities of each source. Field trips may be combined as appropriate for DLIs 1 to 5, with checking of different elements for each DLI on the same field trip. Within three weeks of receiving the independent verification report, ADB confirms that the target is met and initiates the process of disbursement.
DLI 3: By 2021, at least 26,587 sites have renewable energy-based power plants installed. 2016 baseline: 0 All targets are cumulative and provide the minimum threshold for disbursement without prejudice to the arrangements for partial disbursement. Disbursement targets for KPP: Total MHPs installed: 2017 : 200 2018 : 400 2019 : 600 2020 : 800 2021 : 1,000 Solar plants installed: 2017: 1,637
Definition: Renewable energy sources mean MHPs in KPP, and solar plants in schools and PHFs in both KPP and Punjab. These are considered installed when the plant is operational and producing electricity. Whatever the installed capacity of the MHP or solar plants, each plant is counted as an entity.
Conditions for full disbursement are met for each province when the total number of installations (MHPs and solar plants in KPP and solar plants in Punjab) is equal to or exceed the annual target for that province. For KPP, the MHPs account for 80% and solar plants for 20% of full disbursement. For example, if all the MHP installation targets are achieved but not the solar plant targets are achieved, then from the target amount allocated for DLI 3 for KPP for that year, 80% disbursement will be made for the full achievement of MHP installation.

DLI 5: By 2021, at least 7% of target households newly connected to electricity are women-headed households. 2016 baseline: 0 All targets are cumulative Disbursement targets for KPP: All targets are cumulative and provide the minimum threshold for disbursement without prejudice to the arrangements for partial disbursement. Share of women-headed households within the total number of households in KPP having received electricity generated from MHPs: 2017: 2% 2018: 4% 2019: 5% 2020: 6% 2021: 7%
Definition: The denominator for this indicator, the “target households”, means the households in the communities selected by the RBL program that have received electricity generated from MHPs. The numerator is the number of women-headed households provided with electricity from MHPs under the RBL program. Women-headed households mean any household headed by: (i) a single woman living on her own, with or without children, or (ii) a widow, or woman separated from her husband for any reason, including migration, with or without children.
Conditions for disbursement are met when the percentage share of women-headed households equals or exceeds the annual cumulative target for KPP.
Partial disbursement: The DLI is scalable and partial disbursement is allowed. If the target is not fully achieved, then disbursement is proportional to the increase made from the previous period’s targeted achievement. The following formula will be applied: Partial DLI disbursement = planned DLI disbursement for the period (actual achievement of the current period – targeted achievement of the previous period) / (targeted achievement of the current period – targeted achievement of the previous period).6
Disbursements are allowed for early or late achievement of the DLI. This means that the planned disbursement amount for a given year can be released when the set target is fully achieved, even if the achievement is a year or more late, as long as this is within the loan period. If the target achievement is early, early disbursement can be made.
KPP: PEDO reports drawn from its PPMS.

PEDO or EDP prepares an attestation that the DLI is met and attaches the relevant report. The IVA will verify the results each year, in the same two stage process as for DLIs 1 to 5 (first, review of program records, and second, random spot checks conducted in the field). Checks for this DLI will focus on the number of women-headed households in MHP beneficiary communities. Field trips may be combined as appropriate for DLIs 1 to 5, with checking of different elements for each DLI on the same field trip. Within three week of receiving the independent verification report, ADB confirms that the target is met and initiates the process of disbursement.

Most importantly, the internal audit report (2018) and performance audit report (2021) produced by the internal audit department must meet the standards set by the Auditor-General of Pakistan. b) A dedicated procurement unit must meets the following criteria: (i) it is established as a permanent unit of the organization with supplementary procurement staff in the Program Management Unit, (ii) its functions are procurement planning, procurement process, contract management and procurement monitoring and reporting, and (iii) the roles and accountabilities are clearly defined within the unit as well as with the rest of the organization. c) The procurement manual must be able to guide all PEDO/EDP activities in procurement and contracting practices and must meet provincial regulatory requirements in the procurement of all goods, services and works, as well as in the internal controls and standards of conduct for all personnel involved in the procurement process. d) The business model adopted for MHPs means the KPP government has to review, select and adopt one of a number of business models developed as part of the due diligence report under ADB’s TA 9047 PAK. e) A strengthened program management unit means a unit that has been established and staffed in line with the organogram in the PPTA report, which means having the operational strength to implement PAP (Appendix 5).
Conditions for disbursement are met for each province when the institutional action(s) specified for that year has been completed and the entities or products set up or produced meet the criteria set out in (a) to (d) above. For 2017, each of the 5 actions required of the KPP government accounts for 20% of the full disbursement allocation for that year, while for Punjab, each of the 4 actions required accounts for 25% of the full disbursement allocation for that year. That is, if Punjab completes only the action on internal audit and no other in 2017, then it will receive only 25% of the full allocation for that year.
Partial disbursement is not allowed: The DLI is not scalable. The action has to be completed before any disbursement. Disbursements are not allowed for late achievement of the DLI. This means that all actions and reports must be completed on time. Early payment against an earlier than scheduled completion date is allowed.
Frequency for reporting will be annual.

Definition: Operationalization of PPMS means the establishment of the PPMS in EDP and PEDO, with the required software and capacity in place to (i) conduct performance monitoring of all DMF indicators as well as additional indicators, as required, for the procurement, installation and functioning of MHP and solar plants, and (ii) to implement all the PAP actions as agreed. The PPMS should be a web-based monitoring system, to allow for data transmission and collection from remote locations. “All indicators” mean all the indicators agreed on by all stakeholders in the early part of 2017.
Conditions for disbursement are met for each province when the actions specified for that year are met. For 2017, full disbursement requires (a) PPMS to be set up (50% of full disbursement allocation for that year) and (b) a 2017 report to be produced on all indicators (50% of full disbursement allocation for that year).
Partial disbursement is not allowed: The DLI is not scalable. Disbursements are also not allowed for late achievement of the DLI.

on this list constitutes the denominator for this indicator for 2017 and 2018. The numerator is the number of buildings from the list that have had energy audits conducted. “net-zero building” means a 62% reduction from current average level for net emission.
Conditions for disbursement for the energy audits are met when the percentage targets for 2017 and 2018 are achieved, and when the institutional actions specified for each year have been completed. For the net-zero building, condition for disbursement for the 2017 target is met when civil works are started and target for 2019 is met when the building has been completed, furnished, equipped and Energy Department staff shifted to the building. For each year, the institutional actions relating to energy audits are allocated 15% of the full disbursement amount and institutional actions relating to net-zero building are allocated 85% of the full disbursement amount for that year.
Partial disbursement: For 2017 and 2018 energy audits percentage targets, the DLI is scalable and partial disbursement is allowed. However, partial disbursement is not allowed for the institutional actions. Disbursements are allowed for early or late achievement of the DLI. This means that the planned disbursement amount for a given year can be released when the set target is fully achieved, even if the achievement is a year or more late, as long as this is within the loan period. If the target achievement is early, early disbursement can be made.
Frequency for reporting will be annual.
The IVA will verify the results for energy audits in 2017, 2018 and 2019 on the basis of the energy audit reports produced in 2017 and 2018, and the approval of follow up on energy audit recommendations in 2019. For the construction and government standards on net- zero building, the IVA will conduct checks of the site and the notification of standards. Within three week of receiving the independent verification report, ADB confirms that the target is met and initiates the process of disbursement.

PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION DOCUMENT
1. The Islamic Republic of Pakistan is wholly responsible for implementing the program supported by
results-based lending. The Asian Development Bank staff support the results based lending program design and implementation.
The program implementation document (PID) consolidates the essential program implementation information. The PID is a management tool which supports effective program implementation, monitoring, and reporting. It is developed throughout the program processing, and should be discussed with the developing member country at loan negotiations. It is a living document that should be refined and kept up to date during program implementation.

Definition:
For MHP, the DLI refers to the total households connected to the MHP grids provided by the RBL program. For solar sources, the DLI refers to the total number of students in schools provided with solar electricity by the RBL program, to be obtained from education authorities. Conditions for disbursement are met when (i) the total number of households
provided with electricity by the program from MHPs equals or exceeds the annual cumulative target specified, and (ii) when the total number of students in beneficiary schools is equal to or exceeds the annual cumulative target specified. In KPP, MHP component counts for 80% of full disbursement and solar sources component counts for 20% of full disbursement. For example, if all the household targets are achieved but student targets are not, then 80% of the target amount allocated for KPP for that year will be disbursed.
KPP: PEDO reports drawn from its PPMS. Punjab: EDP reports drawn from its PPMS. Frequency for reporting will be annual.
PEDO or EDP prepares an attestation that the DLI is met and attaches the relevant report. The IVA will verify the results each year first, from the administrative records. These will be the number of consumers per site and schoolchildren in connected schools in KPP and the number of schoolchildren in connected schools in Punjab.

2017: 6 MW
2018: 12 MW
2019: 17 MW
2020: 23 MW
2021: 29 MW
Definition:
Clean energy sources mean MHPs and solar plants installed by the RBL program in KPP, and solar plants installed by the RBL program in schools in Punjab, and the University of Bahawalpur. For each province, installed power generation capacity will be added up. There is no need to disaggregate by type of renewable sources. Conditions for disbursement are met for each province when the total
installed capacity from the above sources reach or exceed the megawatts specified in the annual target for that province. Partial disbursement: The DLI is scalable and partial disbursement is allowed.
If the target is not fully achieved, then disbursement is proportional to the increase made from the previous period’s targeted achievement. The following formula will be applied:
Partial DLI disbursement = planned DLI disbursement for the period (actual achievement of the current period – targeted achievement of the previous period) / (targeted achievement of the current period – targeted achievement of the previous period).

2020: 13,920
2021: 17,400
Definition:
Renewable energy sources mean MHPs in KPP, and solar plants in schools and PHFs in both KPP and Punjab. These are considered installed when the plant is operational and producing electricity. Whatever the installed capacity of the MHP or solar plants, each plant is counted as an entity. Conditions for full disbursement are met for each province when the total
number of installations (MHPs and solar plants in KPP and solar plants in Punjab) is equal to or exceed the annual target for that province. For KPP, the MHPs account for 80% and solar plants for 20% of full disbursement. For example, if all the MHP installation targets are achieved but not the solar plant targets are achieved, then from the target amount allocated for DLI 3 for KPP for that year, 80% disbursement will be made for the full achievement of MHP installation. Partial disbursement: The DLI is scalable and partial disbursement is allowed
for each component. If the target is not fully achieved, then disbursement is proportional to the increase made from the previous period’s targeted achievement for that component. The following formula will be applied:
Partial DLI disbursement = planned DLI disbursement for the period (actual achievement of the current period – targeted achievement of the previous period) / (targeted achievement of the current period – targeted achievement of the previous period).

DLI 5: By 2021, at least 7% of target households newly connected to electricity are women-headed households.
2016 baseline: 0 All targets are cumulative Disbursement targets for KPP: All targets are cumulative and provide the minimum threshold for disbursement without prejudice to the arrangements for partial disbursement. Share of women-headed households within the total number of households in KPP having received electricity generated from MHPs:
2017: 2%
2018: 4%
2019: 5%
2020: 6%
2021: 7%
Definition:
The denominator for this indicator, the “target households”, means the households in the communities selected by the RBL program that have received electricity generated from MHPs. The numerator is the number of women-headed households provided with electricity from MHPs under the RBL program. Women-headed households mean any household headed by: (i) a single woman living on her own, with or without children, or (ii) a widow, or woman separated from her husband for any reason, including migration, with or without children. Conditions for disbursement are met when the percentage share of women-
headed households equals or exceeds the annual cumulative target for KPP. Partial disbursement: The DLI is scalable and partial disbursement is allowed.

Conditions for disbursement are met for each province when the institutional
action(s) specified for that year has been completed and the entities or products set up or produced meet the criteria set out in (a) to (d) above. For 2017, each of the 5 actions required of the KPP government accounts for 20% of the full disbursement allocation for that year, while for Punjab, each of the 4 actions required accounts for 25% of the full disbursement allocation for that year. That is, if Punjab completes only the action on internal audit and no other in 2017, then it will receive only 25% of the full allocation for that year. Partial disbursement is not allowed: The DLI is not scalable. The action has
to be completed before any disbursement. Disbursements are not allowed for late achievement of the DLI. This means that all actions and reports must be completed on time. Early payment against an earlier than scheduled completion date is allowed.

100% of identified buildings have conducted energy audits
2018:
Methodology developed and approved for follow-up on energy audit recom-mendations
Construction of model net zero building completed and government standards and design for zero-net buildings notified.
Definition:
“Identified public sector buildings” are all those in the list developed by EDP in the first quarter of 2017 and acceptable to ADB. The number of buildings on this list constitutes the denominator for this indicator for 2017 and 2018. The numerator is the number of buildings from the list that have had energy audits conducted. “Net zero building” means a 62% reduction from current average level for net emission. Conditions for disbursement for the energy audits are met when the
percentage targets for 2017 and 2018 are achieved, and when the institutional actions specified for each year have been completed. For the net-zero building, condition for disbursement for the 2017 target is met when civil works are started and target for 2019 is met when the building has been completed, furnished, equipped and Energy Department staff shifted to the building. For each year, the institutional actions relating to energy audits are allocated 15% of the full disbursement amount and institutional actions relating to net-zero building are allocated 85% of the full disbursement amount for that year. Partial disbursement: For 2017 and 2018 energy audits percentage targets,
the DLI is scalable and partial disbursement is allowed. However, partial disbursement is not allowed for the institutional actions. Disbursements are allowed for early or late achievement of the DLI. This means that the planned disbursement amount for a given year can be released when the set target is fully achieved, even if the achievement is a year or more late, as long as this is within the loan period. If the target achievement is early, early disbursement can be made.

IV. Program Systems and Implementation Arrangements
A. MHP Implementation Business Model 4. Under the RBL program, the MHPs will provide electricity to around 1.5 million people in rural areas of KPP, and solar plants installed at schools will provide electricity to more than 2.6 million students, including 1.2 million girls. The MHP program will be implemented with the assistance of NGOs, hired through a competitive procurement process serving as the lead partner of the contractor, and responsible for site selection, conducting feasibility study and community mobilization. The contractor team will together be responsible for construction of the plant and training of the community team on operation and maintenance. The community organizations will be responsible for operation and maintenance of the plant and collection of cost recovery tariff to ensure sustainability. Four possible business models have been developed by the project preparatory technical assistance consultant. In all possible business models, the following essentials to ensure successful project implementation and a sustained long term operation are to be address:
(i) Tariff: Application of proper tariff scheme covering all costs of direct expenses for operation and maintenance, financial contingency for unexpected events and the accumulation of funds for future renewal of the asset.
(ii) Licencing: All projects independent from the ownership has to ensure that they dispose all the necessary licences and approvals according to federal and provincial regulation.
1 The interest and other charges during construction to be capitalized in the loan.
15
(iii) Fulfil provision for operation and maintenance: To ensure a safe and stable operation and to enable a maximal lifetime of the micro-hydropower plant the provisions for operation and maintenance are to fulfil.
(iv) Funds: The owners and the operators have to ensure – observed by PEDO – that they allocate the dedicated shares of tariffs for contingency and renewal in the foreseen accounts.
(v) Social and Environmental Safeguard: All provisions concerning social and environmental safeguard are to fulfil.
5. Based on the above essentials for sustainability, Table 7 shows different models.

B. Monitoring and Evaluation System 7. This section describes the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system that will apply to the rest of the program period with RBL financing, and incorporates the recommendations of the program M&E system assessment on ongoing M&E activities.
1. Summary of Monitoring and Evaluation System
8. Institutional arrangements. Similar M&E systems to track program progress for KPP and Punjab are managed in parallel and will report on program progress to ADB; and coordinate with the relevant provincial departments. The M&E responsibilities are summarized in Table 8.

will be monitored by PEDO, EDP and PEECA. The agencies will update the status of the program DMF, DLIs, and PAP; and compliance with the loan agreement. The key indicators are in Table 9. The M&E systems will be web-based, where the data on indicators will be aggregated in quarterly progress reports for the entire program, and for specific indicators. 10. Organizational setup and information flow for M&E. Figure 5 illustrates this process. 11. Data collection, analysis, and reporting with web-based M&E system. A web-based M&E system is being designed,2 which will enable PEDO, EDP and PEECA to effectively monitor the expanded M&E indicators. The system will allow large volumes of data to be collated, analyzed and captured in the program progress reports to be submitted to (i) the provincial energy, health and education department secretaries; and (ii) ADB bi-annually. 12. Program evaluation. Within two years after RBL effectiveness, ADB will field a midterm review to report on the progress against the program indicators, and agree on catch-up measures for any delays. Within one year from RBL closing, the program EAs will submit program completion reports to ADB and the Government on the results of the programs in KP and Punjab. Within two years from RBL closing, ADB, in consultation with the EAs, will prepare its own program completion report, and share the same with the Government.

13. Public disclosure. PEDO, EDP and PEECA will publicly disclose the status of the M&E indicators by publishing the program progress reports on their websites. The energy department secretaries of KPP and Punjab will also circulate the reports among their district and municipal authorities, and through media programs (TV and/or radio) to disseminate the results. The program completion reports (para 13) will be published on the Government and ADB websites.
2. Monitoring and Evaluation System-Related Program Action 14. Implementing the web-based M&E system is included in the program action plan (PAP).3 ADB’s capacity development TA will support training on monitoring and verifying the program indicators. The TA is described in Chapter VII. C. Fiduciary Systems 15. The financial management assessment confirms that an adequate financial management exists in KPP and Punjab governments with sound budgeting, accounting and financial reporting, and auditing procedures and practices. Improvements are needed to strengthen internal control and establish internal audit function. 16. Internal controls. The Government’s internal control system for expenditure is based on a series of regulations including the New Accounting Model (NAM), Financial Rules, Treasury Rules, Delegation of Financial Powers and Rules of Business. Auditor Generals set up a small internal audit department with the mandate of payroll audits only. Internal control for non-salary expenditure is strong on expenditure commitment control, but less effective on comprehensiveness, relevance and rules and procedures. 17. Accounting and financial reporting. The government has adopted International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) on cash accounting basis. The Department of Auditor General of Pakistan follows International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAI). The use of FABS, NAM application, and capacity building of accounting staff strengthened financial reporting. Using a uniform chart of accounts for budget formulating and execution at federal, provincial and district levels enables uniform data classification and direct comparison with the original budget estimates. Monthly civil accounts are prepared based on these reports, and posted on the Finance Department, Auditor General and Controller General of Accounts websites. For this RBL, separate assignment accounts and records for the program will be maintained in each implementing agency who will prepare the RBL program annual financial statements for each fiscal year commencing on program effectiveness date and have them audited annually by the Auditor General of Pakistan (AGP). The RBL program will follow the government accounting and financial reporting system. In the case of MHP, community contributions such as land, labor and transportation will not be included in the financial statements due to remote areas and difficult to measure.
18. Internal audit. There are no internal audit units in provincial government departments. Capacity constraints as well as the pre-audit arrangement resting with the Controller General of Accounts slows down establishing the internal audit function in line ministries or departments. 19. Independent audit. The AGP submits audit reports to the governor of the respective province who lays it before the Provincial Assembly. The external audit is conducted using auditing standards of the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions. The AGP will
3 The Program Action Plan is in linked document 12 in Appendix 2 of the RRP.
21
also conduct external audit of the program’s funds for EDP and PEDO. 20. Disbursement and fund flow mechanism. Disbursement by ADB will be subject to achieving key results in the DLI matrix, and submission of withdrawal applications with verifiable evidence of DLI achievements. Fund flows for both EDP and PEDO are as in Figures 6 and 7.

22
program. EDP and PEDO will prepare separate RBL program financial statements following the government's accounting laws and regulations. 22. EDP and PEDO will cause their RBL program financial statements to be audited by the AGP. They will submit separately the audited program financial statements in the English language to ADB within six months of the end of the fiscal year. 23. Public disclosure of the RBL program financial statements, including the audit report on the RBL program financial statements, will be guided by ADB’s Public Communications Policy (2011).4 After review, ADB will disclose the RBL program financial statements for the program and the opinion of the auditors on the financial statements no later than 14 calendar days of ADB’s confirmation of acceptability. The Audit Management Letter will not be disclosed. 24. The audited accounts will be submitted in the English language to ADB within 6 months after the close of Pakistan’s fiscal year. ADB reserves the right to require a change in the auditor (in a manner consistent with Pakistan laws and regulation), or require additional support to be provided to the auditor, if the audits required are not conducted in a manner satisfactory to ADB, or if the audits are substantially delayed. 25. Improvements are needed to strengthen internal control and establish internal audit function for EDP and PEDO. Details are in the PAP. 26. Summary of the Procurement System Anticipated contracts under the program include works, goods and consulting services below currently applicable maximum thresholds for RBL eligibility. 27. The assessment at provincial level found that procurement procedures and practices are guided by sound procurement principles of economy and efficiency, transparency, fairness and equal opportunity. The rules incorporate adequate provisions for competition whereby open competitive bidding is the principal method of procurement (other methods of procurement allowed only under certain conditions). However, some discrepancies with international best practices were identified in PAP and should be mitigated. 28. Key program actions are required in order to mitigate the identified risks in the respective provincial procurement rules, and strengthen PEDO and EDP and have been included in PAP. 29. Summary of Anticorruption System and Actions. At EA level, there is no overall integrated and proactive approach to anti-corruption. Staff refer to their obligation to adhere to appropriate rules which govern respective activities and the codes of conduct for public officials in KPP and Punjab Provinces. These rules include service rules and various accounting and financial manuals. In service rules, applicable details include classification of employees, devotion to duty, misconduct, inquiry procedure and sanctions and penalties. The accounting and financial manuals refer that authorizing expenditure is guided by high standards of financial propriety. Public reporting of corruption allegations could be made clearer. D. Satisfying Procurement Member Country Eligibility Restrictions 30. The RBL program is co-financing with AFD. Universal procurement will be applied. E. Safeguard Systems
4 Available from http://www.adb.org/documents/pcp-2011?ref=site/disclosure/publications.
23
31. Summary of Safeguard System. The program has a safeguard categorization of B for environment, indigenous peoples, and involuntary resettlement. The program will have no adverse impacts on indigenous people, and may even benefit indigenous communities in Chitral. Screening at site selection stage will be conducted to exclude environment category A as well as involuntary resettlement. Environmental assessment studies, including environmental management plans, will be performed for each site. The PAP provides the mitigating actions. 32. Status of the key safeguards actions which will be implemented throughout program implementation are in the PAP (Chapter VI). F. Suggested Guiding Principles for Voluntary Land Donations
33. Depending upon relevant assessment of current program intent and implementation the
following voluntary land donation principles may be further spelled out and applied in the
proposed RBL:
(i) During initial consultations, conducted during the screening phase, potential land donors will be informed that they have the power of choice and ability to say “no” if they do not agree with such donation;
(ii) There is often more than one suitable location for an MHP in a particular community and the project screening report will include an evaluation of the alternatives with an emphasis on requirement for land donation
(iii) Land should be identified by community through a participatory approach, and this needs to be reflected in the records of consultations.
(iv) The screening report needs to indicate that there are no squatters, encroachers, or other claims to the land donated;
(v) Written agreement must be obtained from each affected person donating the land;
(vi) Detailed records must be kept on all consultative meetings, and all grievances, and actions taken to address such grievances, must be recorded in a grievance log.
34. There should be confirmation through an independent third party that the process has been transparent and inclusive. G. Gender and Social Dimensions 35. The RBL program is classified as “General Intervention,” which supports poverty reduction indirectly. The program will also entail social mobilization, awareness raising and skill development programs for poor and vulnerable women in the targeted communities. 36. The program is classified as Effective Gender Mainstreaming, having output indicator for women and girls, and three gender specific DLIs. Other actions under the program include conducting training programs for PEDO and EDP on gender-inclusiveness and program designed for consultations with men and women groups. Gender actions and program indicators will be monitored as part of the overall monitoring framework and evaluated as part of the independent impact assessments and ex-post evaluation studies. H. Communication and Information Disclosure Arrangements
24
37. The program progress will be publicly disclosed by publishing the program progress reports on the government websites. The energy department secretaries of KPP and Punjab will also circulate the reports among their district authorities, and through media programs. The program completion reports will also be published on the Government and ADB websites. I. Development Coordination 38. The program builds on lessons from previous ADB and development partner project investment and policy based loans to Pakistan and the successes generated by their complementary approach and multi partner dialogue. ADB will continue working with existing development partners, while co financing opportunities with other partners will be explored.

X. Accountability Mechanism
45. The Accountability Mechanism provides an independent forum and process whereby people adversely affected by ADB-assisted operations can voice, and seek a resolution of their problems, as well as report alleged violations of ADB’s operational policies and procedures.5 People who are, or may in the future be, adversely affected by a program supported by RBL may submit complaints to ADB’s Accountability Mechanism (2012). 46. Before submitting a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, affected people should make a good faith effort to resolve their problems and/or issues by working with the concerned ADB operations department. Only after doing that, and if they are still dissatisfied, they approach the Accountability Mechanism.
