How does ADB implement disaster and emergency projects?
Unlike UN and some bilateral donors, ADB does not implement projects itself. The state/local government departments are the executing agencies responsible for implementing the projects through their line departments, with the help of consultants, local NGOs, and affected communities. ADB monitors and administers the project, and supports the local governments with extended missions for effective and efficient implementation of the disaster recovery projects, as was done for the Gujarat and the tsunami projects.
