24. In 2000, an advisory techincal assistance (ADTA) in the amount of US$550,000 will finance the second phase of the ongoing technical assistance for Strengthening Public Sector Management (TA 3061-SOL). The TA will focus on capacity building of central agencies and on preparation of supportive legislation. To support continuing policy reform initiatives in later years, the ADB proposes to earmark US$200,000 each year in technical assistance grants as a “flexible fund” to be used in small amounts, as and when needed, in response to priority requirements. In addition, an ADTA of US$800,000 is proposed in 2001 for Performance-Oriented Management in the Public Sector. This TA project is intended to provide follow-up support to the ongoing initiatives to strengthen public sector management. ADB economic and sector work will continue to review public expenditure management and provide recommendations for improvements in processes, systems and resource allocation.
