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 websit, "the Government of India requested the assistance of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to support the development of its regional rapid transit system network, particularly in the National Capital Region (NCR). The ensuing project aims to improve the efficiency and adequacy of the transport system in the region by addressing poor rail connectivity and lack of alternative transport modes. The ensuing project is designed to ease traffic congestion and promote socio-economic development to support NCR's growing urban population. The major outputs of the technical assistance are: (1) detailed project reports validated; (2) detailed scope, design, and arrangements for implementing the ensuing project finalized; (3) capacity of the executing and implementing agencies to successfully implement the project improved; and (4) possible support to the NCR transport sector determined.

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
