About PRF
Fund Management

ADB is responsible for

  • services provided by headquarters and resident mission staff for designing, preparing, overseeing, coordinating, and managing the projects and activities under the PRF
  • office, secretarial, and equipment support.

Within ADB, the Gender, Social Development and Civil Society Division (RSGS) of the Regional Sustainable Development Department (RSDD) is responsible for managing the PRF and functions as the communication link to the United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID) on technical matters. It is responsible for reporting on implementation progress to DFID on the activities financed under the PRF. It also supports the operational departments in project processing.

The regional (operational) departments are responsible for developing, processing, and implementing the individual projects.

The Office of Cofinancing Operations (OCO) acts as the official channel of communications between DFID (and other possible participating donors) and ADB. It monitors and reports on the financial performance of the PRF.
