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 ADB, the proposed Technical Assistance (TA) Project will contribute to the preparation of climate mitigation and adaptation projects, which will be aligned with the Paris Agreement and responsive to the climate change priorities of the selected countries. Capacity building will be provided to selected ongoing projects to ensure project sustainability and improve climate resilience. The TA will also support upstream knowledge work to identify potential areas of policy and institutional reforms, and identify and incubate new, innovative, and transformational ANRRD projects.

The TA also aims to strengthen South Asia's ANRRD portfolio by addressing recommendations highlighted in ADB's sector-wide evaluation: (i) providing more robust sector diagnostics to strengthen project pipelines to support Strategy 2030; (ii) ensuring that project designs reflect the sector's limited institutional capacity, difficult context, and complexity through providing targeted consultant support at project preparation; (iii) strengthening project cycle by enhancing project readiness and quality at entry processes; (iv) improving performance of investments in water infrastructure by providing implementation support; and (v) expanding focus on broader water resource management and climate action by providing upstream knowledge work.

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.

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.
