Technical Assistance

Technical Assistance Program (TAP)

NADBank provides grant support to help project sponsors strengthen their financial performance and ensure the long-term sustainability of their infrastructure through studies related to project planning and design, as well as for capacity-building measures aimed at achieving effective and efficient operation of public services. All technical assistance funded through this program falls into one of three categories.  

• Project development. These studies are directly linked to a specific infrastructure project and are intended to help the project achieve funding approval within a year (e.g. final design, financial analyses and technical studies) or should help develop a specific project within three years after completion of the study (e.g. master plans).
  
  
• Sector Studies. These studies are intended to help identify environmental infrastructure needs, promote sound public policy or generate knowledge about a new sector or technology.
  
  
• Capacity Building. These initiatives are undertaken to help potential sponsors improve their financial or technical capabilities or to facilitate access to knowledge. This classification includes forums and training programs, as well as knowledge management and information sharing efforts.
