- Description
The TA is expected to formulate a comprehensive design for a sector development program and specific outputs will consist of (i) revised urban water and sanitation sector policy and development plan, institutional assessment and policy matrix for proposed sector improvements; (ii) a feasibility study for integrated water supply and sanitation in emerging towns suitable for ADB financing which emphasizes inclusive development and responds to needs expressed by the community regarding priority infrastructure; and (iii) capacity development assistance for expediting project implementation and institutionalizing mechanisms for sustainable community-based infrastructure development.
In order to ensure a far-reaching design for an ensuing sector development program, the TA has been structured to include 3 components: Component 1 will focus on strengthening policy and institutions, Component 2 will develop an infrastructure investment package and Component 3 will devise an action program to expedite implementation and increase the capacity of implementing bodies (Government, NGOs etc).
- Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy
The TA supports the Governments in its efforts (i) to promote inclusive development and (ii) reducing poverty whilst promoting equitable development. Access to safe drinking water and appropriate sanitation will is expected to remain one of the key priorities of the Government?s interim development plan (2007?2010). The TA is consistent with ADB?s strategic priorities, as outlined with ADB?s Country Strategy and Program (2005?2009) and subsequent updates, which emphasize support for (i) promoting pro-poor economic growth; (ii) inclusive social development; and (iii) supporting good governance.
