F. Resource Requirements

111. The current pipeline of ADB's lending and TA program for the Pacific for 2000- 2003 is given in Appendix 3. The 2000-2003 program for the 12 PDMCs is broadly consistent with the new strategy. It will be refined and improved, as necessary. The annual work program for 2000-2003 consists of processing of about 13-14 loans and 42- 49 TAs processed per year; 40-50 loans and 62-88 TAs administered; and country programming, policy, and economic work for the 12 countries. A major challenge for the Office of Pacific Operations is to improve its own efficiency and effectiveness. A continuing task will be to balance the resource availability and the annual assistance program based on the role of ADB as defined in the regional strategy, and the development needs and performance of the PDMCs.
