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.

As stated on the project disclosure page, under the proposed project, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) will provide two sovereign loans to Mongolia from its ordinary capital resources, a $34.4 million concessional loan and a $22.7 million regular loan, to support the development of value chain financing in four key sub-sectors: (i) livestock and animal husbandry; (ii) crop production; (iii) food; and (iv) light industry. The project is expected to enhance technology adoption of agro-enterprises, to increase primarily the agro-processing capacity and secondly agricultural production in Mongolia, and hence increase value addition to agricultural resources. The increased capacity will lead to employment generation, and indirectly benefit herders, farmers, and primary processors through the PPEs' increased demand for raw materials.

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.
