VIII. Economic and Sector Work Program

50. During the transition period (expected to continue until January 2002), capacity building assistance will be required in all sectors, both at national and community levels. Priority within ADB’s program will be given to economic and public service management, as well as to capacity building for sectors of ADB responsibility within TFET, such as the infrastructure sectors. Policy dialogue is expected to focus on broad principles of good governance, including the importance of gender equity and mainstreaming of gender issues in all aspects of development planning and implementation. The importance of cost recovery and planning for sustainable operations and maintenance financing over the longer term will also be a particular focus of dialogue and analytical support. Currently, ADB's technical assistance is mostly focusing on economic and sector work.
