According to the Bank’s website, the TA will support the following outcome: Higher-quality programs and projects that advance the SDGs developed and delivered by ADB DMCs. Subproject 1 has supported efforts to build knowledge in DMCs to enable policies, plans, strategies, and programs that advance SDG attainment in Mongolia, the Laos PDR, and Sri Lanka, as well as regional knowledge generation on prospects for SDG attainment and financing. Subproject 2 will build on these efforts through cross cutting SDG knowledge support to increase DMC capacity and country level knowledge on SDG financing and implementation. The TA will emphasize the cross-cutting and interlinked challenges of poverty and inclusion (SDGs 1 and 10), gender equality (SDG 5), and climate change and environmental sustainability (SDGs 12 and 13). It supports implementation of ADB Management's response to the 2021 Annual Evaluation Review (AER) from ADB's Independent Evaluation Department (IED), which recommended that ADB sustain and deepen its support for country level action to implement the SDGs in the context of COVID-19 recovery, and to assess SDG financing needs and opportunities in a context of fiscal stress, and compounding crises.
In developing the precursor sub-projects of this cluster TA, SPRA has consulted actively with regional departments to identify opportunities for knowledge work to complement country programming and knowledge. It has established processes through which operational department leads, particularly those based in resident missions, can express interest in using the TA resources for knowledge and capacity building work including (i) enabling country level SDG outreach and convening, (ii) supporting governments to integrate SDGs in national policy efforts/by (a) linking SDGs to integrated national policy efforts, (b) providing SDG financing and costing analysis or (c) data for the SDGs and (iii) laying the groundwork for SDG financing/operations.

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.
