Project description:

Work undertaken by ADB’s Central and West Asia Department (CWRD) highlighted a number of deficiencies preventing effective implementation of environmental safeguards. Foremost among the challenges is insufficient capacity in executing agencies to prepare, implement, and monitor the implementation of EMPs. The lack of effective implementation means that there is a credible risk that projects are not in compliance with the SPS. RETA 7548 aims to strengthen the capacity of the executing and implementing agencies in the region to improve environmental management and monitoring.
