Objective and Purpose of the Assignment
- The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is providing transaction technical assistance (TA) facility to the
Republic of Indonesia to support project preparation, project implementation, capacity building, and
policy advice to a series of ongoing and ensuing projects on water security under the agriculture, food,
nature and rural development (AFNR) sector in Indonesia through TA 9951-INO: Supporting Water Security
Investments Facility (Sustainable Infrastructure Assistance Program Phase II Subproject 4). The TA is a
subproject under the TA cluster for Sustainable Infrastructure Assistance Program Phase II (SIAP 2),

survey information; (ii) inputs to concept notes, RRP, PAM, annexes and supplementary documents,
including but not limited to detailed activities, logical framework, cost estimates for project
components, implementation arrangements, procurement plan; (iii) Water allocation model results
(graphics, maps, and summary) for selected river basins; (iv) Technical inputs for Bid Evaluation Report
for procurement of civil works and goods; and (v) monthly administrative reports; and working group
materials, discussion and technical notes as required.
