The Power Distribution Improvement Program (PDIP) is a USAID-financed project designed to facilitate improvements in electric power distribution utilities in Pakistan that was initiated in September, 2010 and will have a three year duration. PDIP was designed to be implemented in two components, beginning with implementation of operational audits at each of the eight Government-owned distribution utilities (DISCOs), and definition of performance improvement action plans for each. Component two will focus on execution of the performance improvement action plans for each DISCO, including implementation of performance improvement projects to demonstrate a number of key operational issues.
