2.1 Project Administration Instructions

The Project Administration Instructions (PAIs) outline ADB’s policies and procedures for administering loan and technical assistance (TA) projects. Project administration starts from the date of the loan or TA project approval and is based on the implementation schedule. Project administration includes a range of activities connected with implementation, such as:

• reviewing and approving the government’s signing of loan and TA agreements, including TA letters;
• monitoring the government’s compliance with loan effectiveness conditions;
• recruiting consultants and procuring goods and works;
• monitoring implementation and development performance, using the Project Performance Management System (PPMS), Project Performance Report (PPR) systems for loans, and TA Performance Report (TPR) systems for TAs;
• analyzing progress reports;
• disbursing loan and TA proceeds and monitoring project cash flows from ADB and other financing sources;
• reviewing unaudited and audited project accounts and agency financial statements;
• reviewing and approving the government’s compliance with the conditions in the loan and TA agreements, including TA letters;
• preparing project and TA completion reports; and
• assessing the performance of completed projects and programs.

The complete PAIs are listed in Appendix 2: Index of Project Administration Instructions.
