NDF, in partnership with the Asian Development Bank, is helping countries build a pipeline of well prepared, technically sound and climate change responsive projects through the Project Readiness Improvement Trust Fund

ADB’s multi-donor Project Readiness Improvement Trust (PRI Fund) has been supporting eligible ADB Developing Member Countries (DMCs) in Southeast Asia to build a pipeline of climate resilient design- and procurement-ready infrastructure projects. Established in 2016, the PRI Fund helps countries deliver their respective Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and focus on critical development projects related to climate change.
