In terms of project support, what is ADB’s objective regarding capacity building?

The objective of ADB regarding capacity building is to enhance local expertise and resilience. This focus aligns with ADB's broader mission to promote sustainable development by empowering local institutions and communities. By investing in capacity building, ADB aims to equip stakeholders with the knowledge and skills necessary to manage and implement development projects effectively. This approach fosters sustainability, allowing communities to thrive independently after ADB's support concludes.

Enhancing local expertise leads to a more robust infrastructure for project management and implementation, ensuring that local stakeholders can continue to benefit from project outcomes long-term. This builds resilience against future challenges by improving the local capacity to respond to various needs and unforeseen circumstances, ultimately contributing to the stability and development goals of the region.
