 
In order to streamline the administration of its technical
assistance programs, as well as to facilitate the application process, NADB
merged the two programs—the Institutional Development Cooperation Program (IDP)
and the Project Development Program (PDP)—into a single program called the
Technical Assistance Program (TAP).
The general objectives, criteria and operating procedures of the new program
remain the unchanged. More detailed information on the merged program is
available at:
Technical Assistance Program.
NADB provides technical assistance to
project sponsors for the purpose of strengthening their financial performance
and ensuring the long-term sustainability of their infrastructure. Technical
assistance may be used for studies related to the design and implementation of
environmental infrastructure projects, as well as for capacity-building measures
aimed at achieving effective and efficient operation of public services.
Project Status
Technical Assistance Program (TAP)
To date, a total of US$22.4 million in grant funding, previously approved under the IDP
and PDP programs, has been committed through this program to support
220 studies benefiting 119
border communities.
For the status of all the studies and other activities funded under this
program, see
Technical Assistance Report
(pdf).
For a summary of the number of studies and amount of funds committed by state, see Technical Assistance Summary by State
(pdf)
