About this grant
The NGO Forum on ADB has advocated for sustainable development and policies that are beneficial to local communities and the environment in the Asian region for nearly two decades. It works to improve public participation, access to information, and good governance in the Asian Development Bank. Over the next two years, the grantee will focus its policy advocacy work on the Asian Development Bank’s safeguard and energy policy reviews. In addition, they will expand their capacity building efforts for their member groups to assist them in being better able to effectively use these accountability mechanisms as well as creating a project-monitoring database.
