This has been superseded by the Strategy 2020: The Long-Term Strategic Framework of the Asian Development Bank 2008-2020 approved in April 2008.

ADB's vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. ADB has made poverty reduction in its developing member countries its overarching mission. The Long-Term Strategic Framework (LTSF) provides an agenda for ADB's poverty reduction and growth-financing activities over the next 15 years. The LTSF will be implemented through a set of three medium-term strategies each covering a five-year period.

• Sustainable economic growth
• Inclusive social development
• Governance for effective policies and institutions

• Promoting the role of the private sector in development
• Supporting regional cooperation and integration
• Addressing environmental sustainability
