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.

The project supports the PRC''s Twelfth Five-Year Plan (2011 -2015) and the Hebei Provincial Twelfth Five-Year Plan (2011- 2015), which develop a three-tiered system of services, stimulate investment in the sector, and define roles and responsibilities for government and the private sector. The project is aligned with ADB''s country partnership strategy (2011 -2015) pillar on inclusive growth, the focus in the midterm review of Strategy 2020 on supporting social protection and health, and the Operational Plan for Health (2015-2020), which has development of elderly care systems (ECS) and services as a focus area.

CONSULTING SERVICES

ADB has engaged the consulting services in accordance with ADB''s Guidelines on the Use of Consultants (2013, as amended from time to time) to ensure immediate mobilization and facilitate project scoping. The PPTA is being conducted using seven individual consultants and an international firm. ADB engaged an international firm based on the quality of the proposal (80%) and the cost (20%) of the services to be provided (the quality- and cost-based selection method) using the simplified technical proposal procedure.

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
