Integrating Innovative Knowledge Solutions with Public Sector Management Operations

proposed

The technical assistance (TA) is designed to strategically deliver knowledge solutions that address development challenges, opportunities and emerging areas in the public sector management and governance (PSMG) sector across the Asia and Pacific region. The TA will (i) scope and design strategic and operational approaches that strengthen the impact of PSMG reforms in ADB's developing member countries (DMCs); (ii) deliver knowledge products and solutions that address country-specific and regional PSMG challenges, opportunities and institutional capacity development needs; and (iii) identify, prioritize and integrate emerging areas into ADB's sovereign lending operations through targeted knowledge products, policy dialogue, and capacity building. The TA will also support the conduct of governance and macro-fiscal diagnostic assessments (called GMaPs or governance and macro-fiscal pillars assessments) to identify PSMG development gaps and weaknesses in ADB's DMCs, which will inform the delivery of impactful reforms in the PSMG sector.
