Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to ADB website, The investment package will support economic activity of underserved farmers, and micro and small and medium sized businesses (MSMBs).

With bank assets to GDP at less than 28% Tajikistan s financial intermediation is very low and trails far behind other transition economies. Intermediation spreads are high and the stability of banks is weak. Only 3 banks and 7 MFIs exceed 1000 borrowing clients. Although MFIs have made efforts in serving households and MSMBs, the overall significance of their outreach remains limited.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF ADB

The Accountability Mechanism is an independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an Asian Development Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, they may investigate to assess whether the Asian Development Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can learn more about the Accountability Mechanism and how to file a complaint at: http://www.adb.org/site/accountability-mechanism/main
