VI. Cofinancing and Catalyzing External Resources

46. In recent years the Government and ADB have accorded priority to closer coordination with other donors in the formulation of ADB's loan and TA program and the design and the financing of specific projects. Official cofinancing has played the major role and it will continue to do so. In the last three years (1997-1999) ADB’s lending attracted cofinancing for a total of $10.3 million from Nordic Development Fund (NDF), Australian Agency for International Development (AusAid) and Islamic Development Bank. ADB will continue its effort to mobilize resources from other sources for its operation in Maldives.
