Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The PPTA is consistent ADB's Country Strategy and Program (2002-2006), which emphasizes support for governance reform programs and devolution, provision of basic urban services and water, inclusive social development, and sustainable environmental management. The PPTA is also fully consistent with the increased emphasis on lending for economic infrastructure, including specifically for urban renewal and development, under ADB's recent country strategy and program updates in 2005 and 2006. | ||||||||||||||
