Technical Assistance Reports

A technical assistance (TA) report is a recommendation to the Board or President (depending on the amount of assistance) to finance a technical assistance project.

ADB has three types of TA activity:

1. project preparatory technical assistance (PPTA) to prepare a project loan, a program loan, or a sector loan for financing by the ADB and other external sources
2. advisory technical assistance (ADTA) to finance, for example, institution building or sector-, policy-, and issues-oriented studies
3. regional technical assistance (RETA) for any of the activities covered in (1) and (2) involving more than one member country. ADB deems any technical assistance projected funded for under $225,000 a small-scale technical assistance (SSTA).

ADB's public communications policy calls for TA reports to be made publicly available no later than upon approval.
