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 the bank document, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through the Economic Research and Regional Cooperation Department (ERCD) has been the regional implementing agency (RIA) of the International Comparison Program (ICP) for Asia and the Pacific since 2003.

The ICP, implemented under the overall guidance of the United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC), is the world's largest statistical initiative that aims to produce globally comparable measures of gross domestic product (GDP) and its components (household consumption expenditure, government consumption expenditure, gross fixed capital formation, and imports and exports) based on purchasing power parities (PPPs) for economies across the world.

The proposed knowledge and support technical assistance (KSTA), is aimed at supporting ADB's continued role as the RIA for the 2020 cycle of the ICP in Asia and the Pacific region to produce PPPs for the year 2020 and undertaking related statistical capacity building activities in the participating economies. Within the scope of the KSTA, ADB will provide overall management, coordination of regional data collection in the participating economies through the national implementing agencies (NIAs), data validation, analysis, and calculation of the Asia Pacific regional PPPs for the 2020 cycle of the ICP which is targeted to begin globally from January 2020.

These are countries that receive funding from ADB for this project: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Fiji, Hong Kong (China), India, Indonesia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, People's Republic of China, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taipei, Thailand, Viet Nam.

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
