Promoting Good Governance: ADB's Medium-Term Agenda and Action Plan (2000)

ADB’s original policy on governance became the basic building block for a cluster of policies on governance. Among them were policies on procurement, law and policy reform, participation of civil society, and anticorruption. Good governance has since been established as one of the three pillars of ADB’s Poverty Reduction Strategy.

• reviews the evolution of ADB’s governance policy
• analyzes the successes achieved and lessons learned
• proposes a medium-term agenda and action plan
