B. Performance and Monitoring Indicators

226. The COS provides guidelines for program development and implementation for the next five years. The uncertainties and risks are considerable and the implementation difficulties serious. Appendix 7 lists the program indicators within the framework of the focus areas for the COS. Indicators should be reviewed, as should ADB’s programs, in the normal course of program design, processing, implementation, and administration. Particularly important will be the country program missions and the country portfolio review missions to be conducted by IRM.

227. The Poverty Assessment provides the starting point for the COS. This assessment is complemented by similar studies by other international funding agencies, including World Bank and JBIC. The results of these studies will be available in 2001. This expected work and our own assessment provide benchmarks for tracking progress in poverty reduction. The High-Level Poverty Agreement between ADB and the Government is expected in mid-2001 and should provide a concise set of performance and monitoring indicators. These will include measures not only of the aggregate incidence in poverty, but also of regional disparity and the depth of poverty (roughly the extent to which severe poverty is present) and other indicators of well-being (education, health, assets ownership, housing, water supply, and sanitation).

228. Implementation of the structural reform program, particularly in the financial sector and with respect to governance and decentralization, must be closely monitored to assess progress. This task will involve monitoring the issuance of administrative decrees and Government resolutions, organizational and administrative change, and enactment by Parliament of economic laws and other such instruments.
