Description

1. The proposed TA will increase the likelihood that ADB funds are used for their intended purposes and are not diverted by corruption, money laundering, fraud or other integrity violations. It will also increase the likelihood that ADB project beneficiaries get appropriate value for money under ADB-financed projects as stipulated in the ADB Charter . Additionally, the TA will directly impact the quality of relevant ADB project outputs and result in reduction and prevention of integrity violations.

2. The main TA beneficiaries, including projects stakeholders, anticorruption committees, finance intelligence services and other relevant government agencies in ADB member countries, will have better understanding of their roles in identifying and preventing corruption, money laundering, fraud and other integrity violations. They will be equipped not only with such awareness, but also with the required technical skills to better identify, detect and prevent corruption, money laundering and other integrity violations in ADB-financed projects. Specifically, they will understand the requirements of ADB's anticorruption and AML policies and guidelines.

3. The TA will also help to identify key anticorruption legal and policy reform initiatives that ADB can support to ensure that integrity violations are prevented and addressed in ADB member countries.
