The World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors will consider the approval of “Pakistan: Digital Economy Enhancement Project (DEEP)” worth $78 million. The project documents revealed that it will support activities that will increase access to and promote the use of digital services across Pakistan, with a focus on broadband access and reducing the significant digital divide currently existing in many parts of the country.
The project will also support cross-cutting improvements in the enabling environment—supporting reforms to expand broadband connectivity and strengthen the policy and legal framework for the digital economy.
