ADB Processing Procedures for TA Proposals
I. Initial JSF Approval
TA requesting division programs and prioritizes TAs in the Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) paper and/or the Regional Cooperation Strategies and Programs (RCSPs) paper
|
After consultation with the local Japanese embassy, the TA Project Officer prepares project profile and cost estimates in JSF format for submission to OCO with documentation.
|
OCO reviews proposals and sends clarificatory questions/remarks to Project Officer
|
OCO submits proposals in a batch to the Government of Japan (GOJ) 1
|
After receiving advice from GOJ, OCO announces the results of batch processing, completing the first of the two-step approval process 2
|
- Usually ten working days after batch deadline but longer during heavy batch submission.
- Usually three to four weeks after batch deadline or earlier.
II. Final Approval Process
After a Staff Review Committee Meeting, TA division registers TA for final fund commitment, provided there is no change in amount and/or scope. If there is any change, TA Division requests for formal approval, with justification for the revision.
|
OCO examines the request and processes based on the justification for the revised TA.
|
OCO announces the results of the reprocessing. Once approved, the TA Division registers the TA for final fund commitment.
