The Project outputs will:

  • Upgrade the existing combined sewer system with interceptors;
  • Construct new separate sewer pipeline systems for storm run-off and sewage, and advanced centralized wastewater treatment plants;
  • Strengthen wastewater management of household septic tanks by a developing de-sludge and collection scheme with appropriate equipment and transportation;
  • Capacity building and institutional strengthening of the implementing agency for medium- and long-term strategic planning for sewage and drainage, and asset construction and management skills including private sector participation, the operating agencies for operation and maintenance and climate resilient disaster management planning, and the local people for awareness raising.

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
