PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1. The Dera Ghazi (DG) Khan Rural Development Project (the Project) in Pakistan is in the DG Khan and Rajanpur districts of the central province of Punjab, along its southern fringe. At appraisal, rural poverty in the province was highest in the districts of DG Khan (with 24% of the rural poor in the province) and Bahawalpur (36%). The Project was designed particularly for the poorest rural populations in (i) the rain-fed plains, (ii) rain-fed hills, and (iii) canal-irrigated areas of these two districts. A survey done during appraisal revealed a rural poverty incidence of about 85% in the rain-fed plains and hills, and about 70% in the canal-irrigated areas. 2. The Project was intended to increase rural incomes and employment, and improve the quality of life of the population. Given the area’s potentials, these objectives were to be achieved by (i) improving irrigation and road infrastructure, (ii) developing communities, (iii) providing financial services, and (iv) providing institutional support through organizational and skills training for beneficiaries in village communities. The Project had the following components and scope of work: (i) Irrigation improvement:,(a) rehabilitating temporary diversions and lining works in perennial hill torrent networks, (b) developing 100 water users associations (WUAs) and improving 100 watercourses (WCs) in hill torrents, and (c) installing 100 tube wells and improving the related WCs in freshwater zones.
