- Description
The technical assistance (TA) is a small-scale project preparatory TA, financed by ADB's Technical Assistance Special Fund (TASF-V) and was approved on 14 Dec 2016 to support the ongoing preparation of the Ganges-Kobadak Irrigation Modernization Project (GKIMP) in Bangladesh.
The proposed GKIMP is the continuation of ADB's engagement to support Bangladesh in increasing the productivity and sustainability of large-scale irrigation. It aims to modernize the Ganges-Kobadak Irrigation Project infrastructure and establish performance-based irrigation management and agriculture support services through private sector participation. The GKIMP feasibility studies and detailed designs were financed under the ongoing Loan 3135-BAN: Irrigation Management Improvement Project (IMIP). The feasibility studies were completed and approved in March 2018 by the Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB). The detailed design was expected to be completed by late 2020 and the TA was used to provide expert support for completing the designs, quality assurance and support with timely project processing. The TA's outputs were (i) technical, safeguards, economic and financial due diligence reviews of the ensuing project completed; and (ii) GKIMP project readiness requirements met on time. The executing agency was the BWDB.
The TA will be closed as scheduled and project team will prepare the Technical Completion Report.
- Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy
- The technical assistance (TA) was included in the country operations business plan, 2017-2019 for Bangladesh and the ensuing GKIMP was included in the same country operations business plan for possible Board consideration in 2021.
