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's website, the "knowledge and support technical assistance (TA) will support Asian Development Bank's (ADB) developing member countries (DMCs) in localizing the sustainable development goals (SDGs) through innovative, integrated, inclusive, and gender-responsive approaches with the aim to support the attainment of meeting the targets for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2030 Agenda), and in improving the quality, accessibility, and inclusivity of public service delivery. The key outputs under the TA are: (i) case studies of innovative initiatives in localizing SDGs; (ii) an information technology-based local SDG monitoring system; and (iii) portfolios of integrated development solutions at the subnational government (SNG) level. The TA builds on the TA for Strengthening Institutions for Localizing Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development (TA 9387), and complements the TA for Advancing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, 2021 2024."

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.
