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.

DESCRIPTION

The Cluster Technical Assistance subproject will support the Government of Tamil Nadu in two key areas: (i) conduct an advanced basin-wide study of water-related disaster risks considering climate change in Greater Chennai City Corporation and other selected towns in Tamil Nadu, resulting in strategic and actionable recommendations to strengthen urban water management (drinking water supply, sewage collection, wastewater treatment, drainage, and water security) and flood early warning systems; and (ii) provide technical support to the Government of Tamil Nadu in the implementation of its recently launched Sustainable Water Security Mission, including identification of smart, innovative and sustainable water management projects, and support for institutional and capacity strengthening measures, some of which can be considered under an ADB investment program.

PROJECT RATIONALE AND LINKAGE TO COUNTRY/REGIONAL STRATEGY

The main objective of the CDTA is to improve the understanding of water-related disaster risks (both floods and droughts) considering climate change, and to strengthen the capacity of the state and local governments to more effectively manage and respond to water-related risks. The outcome of the CDTA will be a technical study with clear and actionable recommendations to support improved water management in Chennai and other selected urban areas of Tamil Nadu, and related capacity building activities (workshops, trainings, exposure visits).

IMPACT

Urban climate change resilience to water-related disasters in urban areas of Tamil Nadu mainstreamed

CONSULTING SERVICES

The CDTA will require about 123 person-months of consulting services (44 international and 79 national). Consulting services for this assignment will be engaged and contracted by ADB. A team of consultants will be recruited under one package using the quality- and cost-based method of selection with a standard quality-cost ratio of 90:10 considering the highly technical and specialized expertise required for the work. International consulting firms can form associations with national consulting firm(s). All consultants will be recruited in accordance with ADB's Guidelines on the Use of Consultants (2013, as amended from time to time). A full technical proposal will be used for the selection of a firm.

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.

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
