The policy Cooperation Between the Asian Development Bank and Nongovernment Organizations was approved in 1998. Updating and revising ADB’s 1987 policy on cooperation with NGOs, the new policy outlines ADB’s current views on NGOs and NGO cooperation in ADB operations, and defines specific initiatives to be pursued. The thrust of the new policy is to recognize the competencies of NGOs and the many roles they play in development, and to identify areas where common interests and complementarity between ADB and NGOs exist. The new policy was developed in close consultation with NGOs.

For ADB, cooperation with NGOs encompasses efforts and initiatives to develop and expand relationships with NGOs and to support NGO participation in ADB operations. Cooperation with NGOs is an increasingly important aspect of ADB operations in country programming processes, loan and technical assistance activities, and policy development activities. ADB’s expanding cooperation with NGOs is a reflection of the role of NGOs as significant players in development processes.
