Updated: 2 April 2004

The Compliance Review Panel (CRP) had its inaugural panel meeting on 22-24 March 2004 and approved its draft operating procedures. The CRP invites comments by 29 April 2004 on the CRP Draft Operating Procedures from interested parties.

These procedures are based on the policy paper on "Review of the Inspection Function: Establishment of a New ADB Accountability Mechanism" approved by the Asian Development Bank's (ADB) Board of Directors on 29 May 2003 and on Operations Manual Section L1 on ADB Accountability Mechanism dated 29 October 2003. Extensive consultations both outside and within ADB were conducted during the formulation of the policy. The ADB Accountability Mechanism became effective on 12 December 2003.
