The Technical Assistance Programme

ADB and IIFL HFL collaborated to expand affordable green housing in India, with a $68 million loan and $1 million in Technical Assistance (TA) funded by the Urban Climate Change Resilience Trust Fund (UCCRTF). This initiative targets women from economically disadvantaged groups, promoting inclusive, energy-efficient, low-carbon, and climate-resilient housing that meets India's need for sustainable living spaces.

The TA focused on enhancing residential infrastructure through community engagement, capacity building, and research on climate resilience and gender inclusivity. It also involved developing DIY Toolkits for self-built housing, tailored to India's diverse climatic zones, and supported studies on sustainable, climate-adapted housing.
