Economic Growth & Agriculture Fact Sheet

The United States Government through USAID is helping Pakistanis secure a more prosperous future by increasing household incomes and employment, nurturing competitive small and medium enterprises, expanding trade and investment, creating more rewarding business opportunities, building on-farm irrigation infrastructure, and promoting a vibrant agricultural sector.

USAID/Pakistan's economic growth projects emphasize private sector development, especially by increasing access to new technologies while improving management practices for high-value sectors such as dairy, textiles, and agribusinesses. USAID supports the Government of Pakistan's privatization agenda and builds business-to-business links to encourage regional trade and economic integration. USAID has also launched four partnerships with private sector banks in Pakistan to improve access to credit for small and medium businesses.
