TDLC’s Operational Support activities utilize the knowledge and expertise of Japanese city authorities and urban development experts to provide customized advisories, analytics, and capacity-building assistance that enhance ongoing and pipeline World Bank–financed projects in developing countries. Operational Support activities are most commonly offered as follow-up support for Technical Deep Dive (TDD) participants.
The synergy between Technical Deep Dives and Operational Support provides World Bank client country representatives with access to customized support that helps them to scale up their projects back home. TDLC’s ongoing TDD program continues to generate an increasing number of requests for follow-up Operational Support.
