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, "This TA will finance our capacity building initiatives for disbursement. It will also support the rollout of our Client Portal for Disbursements (CPD) to the Borrower for the remaining 27 implementing agencies who have not yet used the system and the new CPD module, Beneficiary Registration Facility (BRF). CPD continues to be a vital platform for effective and efficient disbursement operations for the DMCs. The platform provides for faster and quality submission of the withdrawal application from the DMCs.

The expected output is completed disbursement seminars, workshops and trainings and rollouts of CPD inclusive of the BRF [and TA Client Portal (TACP), if needed]. The seminars, workshops and briefings will cover the following topics:

(i) Loan products and features;
(ii) Disbursement policies, procedures and practices;
(iii) Problems, constraints and solutions on loan disbursement;
(iv) Country and project specific case-studies and group discussion;
(v) Preparation, submission and monitoring of loan withdrawal application (if needed TA claims);
(vi) ADB's websites relating to disbursement; and
(vii) Client Portal for Disbursements System including Beneficiary Registration Facility (if needed TA Client Portal [TACP]"

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.
