Advancing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development - Subproject 1

Closed

The TA cluster is aligned with the following impact: DMCs' effective achievement of the SDGs increased. The TA will have the following outcome: Higher-quality programs and projects that advance the SDGs developed and delivered by ADB DMCs. It will achieve this by providing a diverse suite of knowledge products and platforms, including data analysis tools, interactive web-based learning, and practical research. The TA cluster incorporates lessons from previous related TA projects and will support deliverables and activities for three outputs: (i) developing member countries' knowledge and capacity to align planned programs and financing with the SDGs strengthened, (ii) developing member countries' knowledge of good practices and lessons from operations increased, and (iii) developing member countries' capacity for SDG aligned results-based project design and management strengthened. Subproject 1 will support the three TA cluster outputs through the following activities: under output 1, (i) knowledge on SDG progress in Asia and the Pacific and support for regional policy dialogue; (ii) assessment of national SDG implementation and financing needs in three DMCs; and (iii) produce an updated review of evolving private sector approaches to results and impact management for the SDGs. Under output 2 Subproject 1 will support (i) a review of good practices in results management to capture how operations address poverty and the needs of the most vulnerable people; (ii) a review of evolving methodologies to better understand the effects of ADB projects on jobs and livelihoods; and (iii) in conjunction with the Sustainable Infrastructure Foundation, an initial stock-taking of opportunities for DMCs to make use of ADB's Green Resilient Inclusive and Sustainable quality infrastructure assessment tools that have been incorporated into SOURCE, the multilateral platform for quality infrastructure. Under output 3, Subproject 1 will deliver e-learning to approximately 30 officials from executing and implementing agencies.
