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.

DESCRIPTION

The Third Primary Education Development Project (PEDP3) is currently planned to close on 31 Dec 2017 with the Supporting Fourth Primary Education Development Program (PEDP4) scheduled to start from 1 Jan 2018. Analysis that will be undertaken as part of the closure of the PEDP3 must be integrated into the design of PEDP 4 in a timely and effective manner. Given the scope and scale of the program, it is vital that the program preparatory technical assistance support be engaged to ensure this analysis can be duly assimilated into PEDP4's design.

PROJECT RATIONALE AND LINKAGE TO COUNTRY/REGIONAL STRATEGY

The planning for PEDP4 will require a TA project to be engaged to ensure the program identifies appropriate focus areas for interventions and that relevant due diligence is undertaken. This TA project will support and collaborate with the TA and other preparation support provided by the development partners interested in PEDP4.

CONSULTING SERVICES

A total of 15 consultants (54 person-months) will be engaged individually under the PPTA. Flexible arrangement will be needed for timely mobilization of consultants, as well as harmonization efforts of other TA projects provided by other development partners.

PROCUREMENT

During design, the program preparatory TA will (i) help assess PEDP4's executing and implementing agency's capacity, and contribute to the development of action plans for building the government's financial and procurement capacity; (ii) assist in developing a PEDP4 procurement plan; and (iii) assist in the development of an indicative implementation schedule inclusive of a proposed consultant recruitment and procurement activities.

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
