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 proposed activities largely emergency medical supplies and other initial support required for dealing with the COVID-19 crisis to be financed by the Asia-Pacific Disaster Response Fund (APDRF) align with WHO's Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan for COVID-19 and the Indonesian Preparedness Plan for COVID-19.

Specifically, the Indonesian Preparedness Plan for COVID-19 emphasizes the need for clinical management particularly of severe and critical cases; infection prevention and control among health workers and the general population; and specimen management and laboratory confirmation to help reduce the spread of the infection.

ADB's emergency response will help alleviate the government's financial, logistic, and other constraints to meet the immediate needs and delivery of appropriate medical services. Urgent support is needed to:

(i) improve testing capacity (test kits and polymerase chain reaction machines);

(ii) reduce risk of transmission to health workers (personal protective equipment); and

(iii) improve treatment capacity of those in severe and critical care (ventilators).

Other needs may be identified as the situation evolves in the coming weeks. Recognizing the unpredictable nature of the situation, flexibility is required in designing assistance, along with close coordination with various sources and partners."

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
