V. Outputs

1. the formulation of country-owned, and widely supported, prioritized, and sequenced, NPRS for selected countries 3 (the NPRS will include a framework for donor coordination and division of labor);
2. substantial inputs for the implementation of the NPRS for selected DMCs (these inputs will include (a) impact evaluation studies of previous policies, programs, and projects, and (b) selected sector development studies);
3. strengthened understanding of poverty, its nature and extent, causes and effects, and strategic implications in DMCs;
4. strengthened skills of DMC officials and other stakeholders needed for participating, prioritizing, and contributing to the process of poverty reduction strategy formulation and implementation; and
5. enhanced collaboration between ADB and other donors in NPRS formulation and implementation.
