According to the bank document, the TA subproject 3 will have the following outcome: coordination and streamlining of eco-compensation policies and programs enhanced. The TA subproject 3 will be aligned with the following overall impact of the TA cluster: green economic development and ecological protection in the Yangtze River Economic Belt achieved.

The TA subproject 3 will support the overall TA cluster outputs by:

(ii) building on the activities of ADB and exploring new innovations and the practical aspects of improving the effectiveness of eco-compensation programs (Outputs 1 and 2);

(iii) contributing towards the technical design of the eco-compensation programs to be implemented;

(iv) identifying policy recommendations on integrating local development into ecological conservation programs (Outputs 1 and 2); and

(v) clarifying the key issues, major tasks, and policy incentives for achieving the dual objectives of ecological improvement and economic development in key ecological function zones.

In order to achieve these objectives, CDRC and CFD requested ADB's support for the three outputs of the TA subproject 3:

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
