Description
The proposed cluster TA will support the Asian Development Bank's (ADB) developing member countries (DMCs) to develop and appraise key investment projects that incorporate integrated approaches and support green, resilient, and inclusive development through ADB's operations and knowledge work in the water and urban development sector. Owing to the integrated approach nature of dealing with urban development issues in DMCs, the TA cluster modality will allow for complementing subprojects to be flexibly designed using resources from multiple funding partners and implemented in a harmonized, phased, and integrated approach to support the development of cities in the region. This allows for better sequencing of TA activities compared with multiple stand-alone TA. The DMCs to be supported by this cluster TA include Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Marshall Islands, Mongolia, Nepal, Philippines, Solomon Islands, and Uzbekistan.
The cluster TA is aligned with ADB's Strategy 2030 Operational Priorities (OPs): (i) addressing remaining poverty and reducing inequalities (OP1); (ii) accelerating progress in gender equality (OP2); (iii) tackling climate change, building climate and disaster resilience, and enhancing environmental sustainability (OP3); (iv) making cities more livable (OP4); and (v) strengthening governance and institutional capacity (OP6).
The cluster TA will build upon the results and lessons learned primarily from the implementation of TA 0016-REG: Promoting Urban Climate Change Resilience in Selected Asian Cities. This TA facilitated in making ADB financing resources under the Urban Climate Change Resilience Trust Fund available to ADB operations for planning, knowledge sharing, capacity building, as well as supported project preparation, design and implementation. The cluster TA will also build on the activities of the ongoing TA on Implementing the Cities Development Initiative for Asia (TA 6559-REG) which provides analytical work to determine the viability of proposed investment projects of cities for potential financing from AD
