The TA is in line with the key policies of the government's Twelfth Five-Year Plan, 2011-2015, which supports increased incineration of total treated solid waste and strategically supports key initiatives planned in the PRC's National New-Type Urbanization Plan, 2014 -2020. The TA is aligned with the strategic priorities of ADB's Midterm Review of Strategy 2020 and the country partnership strategy, 2011 2015 for the PRC to achieve environmentally sustainable growth.

The impact will be improved urban environmental quality in the PRC, aligned with the PRC's National New-Type Urbanization Plan, 2014- 2020. The outcome will be improved sustainability of fly ash management from municipal solid waste incineration in the PRC. The TA is expected to have three outputs that will contribute to the achievement of the outcome and impact: (i) technical standards for safe capture, processing, reuse, and sustainable disposal of fly ash from municipal solid waste incineration plants (MSWIPs) developed; (ii) policy recommendations and implementation action plan for safe reuse and sustainable disposal of fly ash from MSWIPs prepared; and (iii) capacity on technologies and establishing an information and service center on advanced sustainable MSWIP fly ash management in the PRC improved.
