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 help strengthen the capacity of the government of the Kyrgyz Republic to define and advance government reforms, and to program and implement Asian Development Bank (ADB) assistance in the country. The TA will deliver knowledge products and advisory support for the government's structural reforms and policy development and streamline government procedures and institutional framework required for efficient and effective planning of ADB projects. The TA will also support urban planning advisory services, including a pre-feasibility study to improve livability, contribute to climate resilience and low carbon emission as well as unlock tourism and economic potential in one selected district of Bishkek city.

The TA is designed to serve as a flexible and rapid response mechanism that supports ADB programs and projects for government policy studies and capacity development. The TA will support the Kyrgyz Republic resident mission (KYRM) in overseeing the conceptualization and programming of ADB sovereign operations and knowledge services and guiding origination priorities for nonsovereign (NSO) and advisory operations to ensure optimal country partnership strategy (CPS) implementation in close collaboration with the government.

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.
