The policy options are contextualized in light of the Government of Pakistan's 2011 Framework for Economic Growth and its strategic objectives. Appendixes A to D present additional background information, describe the economic and institutional analyses undergirding this report, and detail the report's methodology. This analytical work by a team of World Bank specialists focuses on: analyzing the policy and institutional adjustments required to address environmental, social, and poverty aspects of increased transportation efficiency in Pakistan; identifying policy options for the Government of Pakistan to better serve the population, to enhance social cohesion, and to foster equitable benefit sharing with low-income or other vulnerable groups; developing a broad participatory process to give a voice to stakeholders who could be affected by enhancements of freight transport productivity; and making robust recommendations to strengthen governance and the institutional capacity of agencies to manage the environmental, social, and poverty consequences of freight transportation infrastructure.
