There are some knowledge gaps on ICT among ADB operational departments, which resulted in nonoptimal quality in project design. To address this gap, first, the TA project compiled past, ongoing, and pipelined ICT projects and built an ICT project database. Second, the TA project started to send monthly e-newsletters updating ADB staff on ICT trends and activities collected from other development banks across the globe. Third, the TA project organized 11 regional workshops for knowledge sharing and learning on various topics including smart energy, ICT for education, e-health, tech startup ecosystem, smart city, e-commerce, among others and prepared knowledge brochures based on the presentations and discussions during the workshop and shared it through development.asia. Last but not least, the TA project produced knowledge outputs and published them at www.adb.org.
