NADB provides technical assistance through grants to promote the development of high-quality environmental infrastructure projects, to support the long-term sustainability of projects and to facilitate access to NADB financing. Technical assistance and capacity-building are key tools that NADB uses to strengthen its relationships and the capabilities of its customers, as well as to identify new business opportunities.
In 2014, NADB began coordinating its TA activities more closely with the Border Environment Cooperation Commission (BECC). In January 2015, these efforts culminated in a fully integrated program with shared operating guidelines and the establishment of a single committee to approve projects and oversee and administer all activities related to technical assistance.
