PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed TA aims to support the development of diversified and responsible critical mineral (CM) and clean energy technology (CET) manufacturing supply chains by providing knowledge solutions, creating a platform for policy dialogue, and supporting capacity building for the creation of a financing facility. It adopts a comprehensive approach encompassing integration of CM production with regional CET supply chains, creating enabling environments for domestic value addition, promoting regional policy dialogues, and catalyzing finance to develop diverse and resilient CM and CET supply chains. The TA is aligned with ADB's Climate Change Action Plan 2023-2030 and Strategy 2030's Operational Priorities 1, 3, and 7. It is included in the 2024 pipeline of the Regional Cooperation and Integration and Trade Division (CCRC) of the Climate Change and Sustainable Development Department (CCSD) and the Energy Sector of the Sectors Group.
