Regional : Understanding and Arresting Corruption in ADB-Related Activity
The desired impact of this TA is to enhance development effectiveness in ADB projects through the elevation of antifraud and anticorruption measures and to develop the capacity of EAs, IAs, and ADB regional departments (RDs) to mitigate fraud and corruption risks in ADB projects, and realizing the core objectives of GACAP II and Strategy 2020.
The expected outcomes of the TA are:
a. for developing member countries (DMCs) and ADB to jointly identify, mitigate and monitor fraud and corruption risks at key milestones of a project cycledesign, implementation, mid-review, and completion; and
b. for EAs, IAs and RDs to possess the capacity and skills to mitigate fraud and corruption risks in all ADB projects.

Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | To strengthen fraud and corruption risk identification and preventative/mitigation measures in ADB projects, ADB requires an instrument, such as a heat map, to enable staff to systematically identify and prioritize fraud and corruption risks in ADB projects (Heat Map); and a project level fraud and corruption risk monitoring and mitigating tool (Tool) that can be applied countrywide, sector wide and project wide, and which may be tailored for the use of executing agencies (EAs), implementing agencies (IAs), and relevant ADB project staff (collectively, the Heat Map and Tool are referred to as Tools). | ||||
Impact | Enhanced development effectiveness in ADB projects through elevation of antifraud and anticorruption as key priorities by DMC governments. |
