The following target beneficiaries of the project have been identified:

- About 170 tannery owners benefit directly in the sense that the project will enable the continuation of their activities on a sustainable basis, which otherwise might have been curtailed for environmental reasons they will also benefit economically because they will initially pay part of the cost if pollution abatement, with the remainder being financed by various government agencies.

- An estimated 1,600 tannery workers will obtain the direct benefits of cleaner, safer and healthier working conditions; this will also apply to the large number of casual workers, transport operators and other workers in one way or other associated with the tanneries operation.

- The surrounding community, particularly residents in the tannery clusters themselves, will also obtain health benefits from the improvement of the environment in the area, as will the farmers using the improved water quality in Rohi Nullah for irrigation purposes; the EIA study estimated that a total of about 50,000 to 60,000 people are currently at risk.

- Local public agencies such as Municipal Committee of Kasur, the Housing and Physical Planning Department as well as other environmental monitoring and policy making bodies will benefit directly or indirectly from the project.

- An estimated 1,000 landowners, mostly small farmers, will benefit from reclaiming the stagnant pools now permanently submerging about 132 ha (or 327 acres) of land, and adversely affecting crops during part of the year on another 126 ha (or 311 acres) of land.'
