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.

Previous TAs on enhancing project implementation and capacity building and country systems have started to build the capacity of executing and implementing agencies (EAs/IAs), in the areas of project administration, procurement and financial management, following Government's promulgation of the sub decree on Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) in 2012. The TAs provided support in operationalizing the sub decree and conducted training programs. However the outreach has been rather limited and performance has been uneven; aspects relating to utilizing knowledge of good implementation practices has also been limited and will need greater attention.

According to bank documents, the Technical Assistance also builds on the implementation of the National Strategic Development Strategy (NSDP) 2014-2018 and in relation to areas of project administration, procurement and financial management, following Government's promulgation of the sub decree on Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) in 2012. The previous Technical Assistance provided support in operationalizing the sub decree and conducted training programs.

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
