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
