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 ADB:

The transaction TA facility will support the development of digital transformations, i.e., the process of using digital technologies to create new or enhance existing business processes, culture, and customer experiences to accommodate evolving business and market requirements. This TA is intended to catalyze increased digital transformations in infrastructure across ADB's developing member countries through private sector's involvement in delivering sustainable infrastructure and services. Digital transformation inherently requires private sector participation for increased efficiency and ability to respond quickly to changing digital needs and to innovate. Digital transformation could be applied across multiple sectors such as transport, energy, education, urban and wastewater, health and social sector. Some examples of digital technology-based projects and services are information-communication technology infrastructure, automated fare collection systems across integrated multi-modal urban transportation, automated vehicle locations (e.g., in bus rapid transit), smart traffic management, e-government services, healthcare screening and e-health platforms, digital identification technologies, digital payments etc.

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.
