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 Trade and Supply Chain Finance Program is a critical business of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and a core mobilizer of cofinancing. In 2023, the program supported 21,416 transactions valued at $4.7 billion, $2.9 billion of which was cofinanced by the private sector. Of the program countries of operation in 2023, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and Viet Nam were the most active. Of the supported transactions, more than 6,900 involved small and medium-sized enterprises while nearly 1,400 transactions supported trade between developing member countries (DMCs).

The program complements its core business of supplying guarantees and loans to support trade with special initiatives that advance sustainability, address climate change, and promote social inclusion. The technical assistance (TA) will fund the financial due diligence and integrity due diligence (IDD) of ADB’s key counterparties under the program to ensure that credit and integrity risk issues in the program are appropriately identified, assessed, and managed. The TA will be processed and administered by the Risk Analytics Unit (RAU).

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.
