2.8. Step 3: Project Examination

2.8.1. Project feasibility, as presented in the consultants' report, is then examined by ADB, first through a fact-finding mission and then through an appraisal mission2. The mission teams, in consultation with the government, examine the project's technical, financial, economic, environmental and management aspects, and potential social impact. Loan terms and conditions are discussed. Following the examination at the field, the appraisal mission team prepares a report and draws up a draft loan agreement for negotiation. The following table identifies relevant activities during project examination.

_________________________

2No separate fact-finding mission will be required if there is sufficient agreement between ADB and the Government during the project design processes to permit the preparation of a comprehensive draft RRP for MRM (ADB. 2002. Business Processes for the Reorganized ADB. para 41.) Furthermore, if a project is adjudged at MRM to be sufficiently prepared to go directly into loan negotiations, the MRM may decide that: (i) appraisal has been completed (no further mission is required); and (ii) the SRC meeting be waived.
