Regional: Strengthening Capacity to Design and Implement Climate Resilience Projects Facility
The TA will contribute to the preparation of climate mitigation and adaptation projects, which will be aligned with the Paris Agreement and responsive to the climate change priorities of the selected countries._Capacity building will be provided to selected ongoing projects to ensure project sustainability and improve climate resilience. The TA will also support upstream knowledge work to identify potential areas of policy and institutional reforms, and identify and incubate new, innovative, and transformational ANRRD projects.
The expanded transaction TA facility approach is suitable as it will enhance project preparation efficiency and early focus on climate change. Overall, this TA will reduce transaction costs through minimizing the need for stand-alone TAs and reap benefits by utilizing same teams of consultants between projects.

| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The TA also aims to strengthen South Asia's ANRRD portfolio by addressing recommendations highlighted in ADB's sector-wide evaluation: (i) providing more robust sector diagnostics to strengthen project pipelines to support Strategy 2030; (ii) ensuring that project designs reflect the sector's limited institutional capacity, difficult context, and complexity through providing targeted consultant support at project preparation; (iii) strengthening project cycle by enhancing project readiness and quality at entry processes; (iv) improving performance of investments in water infrastructure by providing implementation support; and (v) expanding focus on broader water resource management and climate action by providing upstream knowledge work. | ||||||||||
