PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed Cluster Regional TA (C-R-TA) aims to support 10 developing member countries (DMCs) of ADB in addressing challenges to their climate-related energy transition goals. It will demonstrate scalable models for a just energy transition (JET) in infrastructure sectors through three outputs: (i) Output 1: Integrated and inclusive policy framework developed. The regional framework, informed by a comparative policy review, will guide workforce upskilling, technology adoption, and low-carbon transition financing; (ii) Output 2: Technology-enabled innovations established. A technology audit in 10 DMCs will identify renewable and low-carbon options to support inclusive innovations in ADB projects and strengthen academic-industry partnerships; and (iii) Output 3: Inclusive workforce upskilling programs formulated and implemented in six DMCs. At least three scalable training models per DMC will be co-designed and implemented with industry and academic partners, supported by multi-stakeholder forums and monitoring systems to enable learning and replication. The participating DMCs are Bangladesh, Cambodia, Maldives, Mongolia, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Tonga, and Vanuatu.
