ADB Approves Additional $2 Million Funding to Support Green and Resilient Post-COVID-19 Recovery in the GMS

An additional $2 million grant funding from the Climate Investment Fund–Technical Assistance Facility (CIF–TAF) was approved on 17 October 2021 by ADB. This grant will support green and resilient COVID-19 recovery in the GMS, covering Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand, and Viet Nam, through the CCESP TA. With this funding, the Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability Program (CCESP) will provide policy support, build institutional and technical capacities, and demonstrate innovative options to build back cleaner, greener, and more climate-resilient economies. The CCESP team is currently reaching out to the WGE focal points and coordinators to determine activities and areas of support for green post-COVID-19 recovery.
