VIII. Economic and Sector Work Program

61. The economic and sector work program, which is summarized in Table 3, is aimed at shaping and supporting ADB operations in the country. Three types of economic and sector work are planned for 2001-2003. First, some studies (i.e., the Review of Public Investment Program, the Assessment of External Debts, and the Study on Governance) will analyze major macro issues, which could be used for policy dialogue with the Government. Second, some studies will update ADB’s knowledge of the areas in which ADB has provided assistance. Such work (i.e., the Education Sector Study Update and the Pension System Update) would contribute to a better understanding of the progress, problems and prospects in these areas and thus help develop more appropriate assistance programs in the future. Third, some studies will familiarize ADB with issues in the new sectors to make preparations for its possible future assistance. These will include the Study on Water Supply and Urban Development, the Study on Renewable Energy Development, and the Insurance Sector Study.
