MfDR Cooperation Fund

Selection Criteria

Technical assistance proposals submitted by ADB Regional Departments are assessed by a fund review committee according to six criteria:

• linkage of the proposed initiative with national development plans and programs
• specification of development results to be captured
• specification of beneficiary institutions and capacities to be strengthened
• innovativeness, participatory dimension, and replication potential
• adequacy of mechanisms for monitoring and evaluating the initiative
• comparative advantage and implementation capacity of ADB

All ADB DMCs are eligible to receive assistance under the MfDR Cooperation Fund.

Proposals are endorsed by the fund review committee at the identification stage on the basis of:

• a supplementary assessment sheet [ PDF: 228KB | 4 pages ]
• the standard ADB TA concept paper [ PDF: 20KB | 3 pages ]

The TA processing and implementation steps are summarized in this flow chart.
