| Description | The Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved its first urban development project in Tajikistan on 18 September 2018, which became effective on 27 February 2019.

| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The proposed project meets the eligibility criteria for additional financing. The additional financing will enhance development results by increasing the scope of WSS investments in Shomansur district, which were also identified as the priority water supply and sanitation interventions in the original feasibility study, but not included in the original project because of limited funding. It will improve the efficiency of State Unitary Enterprise Dushanbevodokanal's operations through nonrevenue water reduction activities, among others. Additional financing is the most appropriate modality for the following reasons: (i) strong physical links with the ongoing project design and works; and (ii) efficiency and continuity gains from the established implementation arrangements under the ongoing project, e.g., the project management design and supervision consultant preparing the detailed design is proposed as the construction supervision consultant for the overall project. | ||||
