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.

As stated by the ADB, the knowledge and support technical assistance (TA) will support the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic in developing a pipeline of bankable small and medium-sized solar and wind independent power producer (IPP) projects. This will create an IPP program that the Asian Development Bank (ADB) transaction support products can support, potentially including transaction advisory services and partial credit guarantees. The TA will provide capacity building for the identification and screening of IPP projects. It will also confirm whether the enabling environment for renewable energy projects can support the IPP approach and the use of ADB's partial credit guarantees to facilitate private investment in power generation in the Kyrgyz Republic.

The TA is aligned with ADB's Strategy 2030, which identifies private sector operations, including public-private partnerships (PPPs), and strengthening ADB's knowledge services as operational priorities. It also responds to the Independent Evaluation Department's paper on ADB Support for Public-Private Partnerships, 2009-2019, which recommends that ADB rapidly expand the use and scale of risk mitigation products and provide political risk and partial credit guarantees to facilitate private investment in infrastructure projects.

Further, the TA supports the strategic objectives and operational priorities in ADB's country partnership strategy with the Kyrgyz Republic, 2023-2027. Under this strategy, ADB will (i) continue to support the government in reforming the energy sector, tapping the country's renewable energy potential and modernizing energy assets; (ii) support the Kyrgyz Republic in addressing its climate-related challenges and meeting its nationally determined contributions by developing infrastructure assets, including hydropower and renewable energy generation; and (iii) support ongoing reforms to strengthen governance and the private sector.

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.
