Regional : Strengthening Resilient and Sustainable Urban and Water Service Delivery in the Pacific
The knowledge and support technical assistance (KSTA) will contribute to improved urban service coverage delivery as well as project processing and implementation capacity in the Pacific through water and wastewater operators twinning partnerships that promote peer-to-peer knowledge exchange. Where skills gaps exist, it will scale up the capacity building through tailored capacity supplementation. This will ensure quality-at-entry of ADB TAs (Technical Assistance) and projects.
