The project supports the integration of a differentiated approach to operations in urban environments across the Pacific region. It focuses on strengthening the resilience of urban areas in Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and fragile and conflict-affected situations (FCAS) by addressing the root causes of their vulnerability and fragility, including low institutional capacities for planning and managing urban development. The project aims to help SIDS and FCAS adopt a longer-term horizon for urban planning and support governments in preparing a more programmatic and multisector approach to urban infrastructure investments in developing member countries (DMC).
We have been engaged to conduct a rapid review of the intended outcomes, outputs, and approaches identified under the original Technical Assitance (TA) of ADB and develop/improve the technical dimensions of ongoing TA components. Further, we have identified and developed potential additional TA components, with particular emphasis on the technical dimensions, and documented the decisions made and actions identified by management in response to the proposed variation.
