Objective and Purpose of the Assignment

The consultant will be assigned to the ASEAN Power Grid and Special Funds Unit (APGU) of the Southeast

Asia Department (SERD) in ADB Headquarters, Manila.

SERD leads the Asian Development Bank’s operations,

knowledge work, and partnerships in Southeast Asia.

APGU coordinates bank-wide activities related to the

ASEAN Power Grid (APG) and manages SERD’s ASEAN-related funds.

The ASEAN Catalytic Green Finance Facility (ACGF) is a permanent facility under the ASEAN Infrastructure

Fund (AIF), dedicated to accelerating green infrastructure investments in Southeast Asia.

It supports

ASEAN governments to prepare and finance infrastructure projects that promote environmental

sustainability and contribute to climate change goals.

The ACGF is owned by ASEAN governments and the

ADB and is managed by ADB’s APGU, formerly Green Finance Hub (SGFH) in SERD.

The ACGF has 10 cofinancing

partners, of which funds from 3 are managed by the ACGF through ADB administered trust funds: (i) GCFsupported ACGF Green Recovery Program, (ii) European Union- ACGF Trust Fund and (iii) United Kingdom (UK)

-ACGF Trust Fund.

The ACGF deploys funding from AIF, as well as concessional loans from the trust funds,

and in parallel from its other cofinancing partners to ADB projects.

It also funds technical assistance

activities to originate and prepare green/climate projects, enhance knowledge, and support policy and

planning work.

Between 2020 and 2025, ADB approved eleven ACGF eligible projects, with either AIF/ACGF

or partner cofinancing, or with substantial technical assistance from ACGF during project origination.

The Senior Advisor role is needed to provide dedicated technical and strategic support to APGU in

implementing the ACGF, particularly in deepening the project pipeline, strengthening origination, and

demonstrating clear partner additionality and value for money.

The role will also help maintain

partnership momentum by ensuring that partner support is translated into visible and measurable results,

while strengthening coordination across ADB, APGU, and operational teams.
