4. Alignment of NDB’s mandate and strategy with the 2030 Agenda
… mobilize resources for infrastructure and sustainable
development projects in BRICS and other emerging
economies and developing countries, complementing
the existing efforts of multilateral and regional financial
institutions for global growth and development.
• Commitment to support countries’ efforts in
achieving the SDGs and the 2015 Paris Agreement
• Key areas of operation, including:
i) clean energy;
ii) transport infrastructure;
iii) irrigation, water resource management & sanitation;
iv) sustainable urban development

5. NDB’s SDG mapping method
Why develop a mapping method?
• Promote accountability to NDB’s
mandate
• Ensure evidence-based reporting
of SDG alignment
• Understand which SDG’s NDB’s
financing is aligned with
NDB’s method
• Maps each project to a primary SDG
and additional SDG(s)
• Seeks to fulfill a mapping and
accounting need
• Focuses on the intended positive
development results of projects

Project rationale / development challenge
Water supply and sanitation does not reach national standards:
(i) imbalanced and non-integrated drinking water supply and
distribution network due to dispersed water supply plants;
(ii) lack of capacity and outdated technology of existing water
supply plants; and
(iii) inadequate sewage treatment system to match the rapid
urbanization and industrialization.
Project’s intervention / outputs
The Project aims to upgrade urban and
rural water supply and sanitation
systems and optimize water
management system in Shengzhou
through construction of:
• water supply plants;
• sewage treatment plants;
• associated pipelines; and
• a smart water management center.
