The TA is expected to lead to PPTAs in the five selected river basins. The RAS is expected to be replicated in other river basins in the region where ADB and other funding agencies will invest in river basin management for IWRM. The TA is also expected to help RBOs improve their performance and adapt to changes in water management, in areas indicated above. It is also expected that the TA will showcase good practices in IWRM in the Asia-Pacific region and for the first time present a credible overview of the river basin management achievements of the region to be global water community.
