It is being developed in close consultation with ADB operations departments and has been supported by the Urban Sector Group Committee (comprising of directors from the operations departments). Additionally, it will build on lessons from previous activities of ADB's regional departments, Sustainable Development and Climate Change Department, and urban development initiatives at other multilateral development organizations. The TA is included in the Management-approved 2019 results-based work plan of the Sustainable Development and Climate Change Department. | ||||||
