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 "technical assistance (TA) cluster, Promoting a Just Energy Transition in the Infrastructure Sectors in Asia and the Pacific, aims to support 10 developing member countries (DMCs) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in addressing three persistent challenges to the their climate-resilient energy transition goals: (i) fragmented policies and weak coordination mechanisms, which hinder the integration of workforce readiness into transition planning and implementation; (ii) limited technology adoption and innovation barriers, which have resulted into the inadequate adoption of renewable, smart grid, and digital solutions (e.g., Industry 4.0 smart technologies); and (iii) skills and workforce readiness gaps, with women, youth, low-income workers, and those in informal employment most at risk".

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.
