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 website, "The TA facility will support project preparation and increase project readiness of pipeline projects including those identified in the country operations business plan. Initially, the TA facility will support:
(i) Assam Road Network Improvement Project;
(ii) Bengaluru Metro Rail Project;
(iii)Bihar State Highways IV Project;
(iv) Chennai Metro Rail Project;
(v) Indore Metro Rail Project;
(vi) Maharashtra State Roads Improvement Project;
(vii)Second Uttarakhand State Highways Project;
(viii) South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) Highways Project, Phase II;
(ix) SASEC Road Connectivity Program (Tranche 3); and (x) other projects, as proposed for approval.

The TA facility will also support ongoing projects as required and agreed with the respective project's implementing agency. There are instances during project implementation where unanticipated scope and impacts are realized, hence, resources for additional assessment and mitigation are deemed necessary. Ongoing projects that suffer from weak project implementation capacity require similar technical support to ensure project sustainability and improve transfer capacity through specific training and skills building activities. Ongoing projects that will be supported under the TA will be identified in consultation with the specific project's implementing agency. Initially, the TA facility will support:
(i) Chhattisgarh Road Connectivity Project;
(ii) Karnataka State Highways Improvement III Project;
(iii) Promoting Public Private Partnership in Madhya Pradesh Road Sector Project (after approval);
(iv) SASEC Road Connectivity Program (Tranche 2); and
(v) other projects, as discussed with executing and implementing agencies."

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
