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 bank documents, "The regional knowledge and support technical assistance (TA) addresses the need to develop a scalable pipeline of green and bankable infrastructure projects across Southeast Asia. Integrating environmental sustainability (or “greening”) and financial sustainability in projects requires massive private sector funds from commercial, institutional, and other sources, as well as technology and management efficiencies. To achieve this, public sector funds and approaches must be better leveraged through innovative project financing structures. Most Southeast Asian developing countries are unfamiliar with such structures, and the TA will focus on building green, innovative financing models, mechanisms, capacities, andconcepts that can be mainstreamed in Southeast Asian project pipelines."

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
