active

The proposed technical assistance (TA) will help the government prepare the project, including due diligence, safeguards, and technical assessments for the ensuing project. The TA will also help facilitate implementation of strengthening NPA's capacity for pension operation. Particularly, the TA will help develop NPA's key institutional design, plan, and strategy. It will include the development of NPA's functional design and organizational structure, an operational capacity building plan, a community strategy, and a human resource plan. The TA support will build a basis for major interventions by the ensuing project to comprehensively strengthen NPA's capacity for pension operation in Bangladesh. The TA will further help implement the ensuing project through supporting capacity building of the implementing agency in its project management, such as procurement and financial management, and safeguards issues. The TA is aligned with Asian Development Bank's (ADB) country partnership strategy for Bangladesh.
