Tokyo Development Learning Center (TDLC)

TDLC’s Operational Support (OS) activities utilize the knowledge and expertise of Japanese city authorities and urban development experts to provide customized advisory, analytics, and capacity-building assistance that enhance ongoing and pipeline World Bank–financed projects in developing countries.

Operational Support provides World Bank client country representatives with access to customized support that helps them scale their projects back home.

The World Bank leverages TDLC’s Operational Support both at the upstream stage, using it in conjunction with Technical Deep Dives to help identify new support opportunities for developing countries in connection with World Bank projects, and at the project implementation stage, to inform and support such projects.
