E. Role and Responsibilities of Vice Presidents

68. As members of the management team, the principal role of the Vice Presidents in ADB is to support the President in managing the institution, and by acting on his/her behalf in various areas. The operations Vice Presidents will be expected to deliver ADB’s strategic agenda in the regions allocated to them and in particular to:

1. ensure that individual country strategies and programs are aligned with ADB’s strategic agenda;

2. ensure that these programs are adequately resourced through the allocation of country IPFs, and adjust these as needed;

3. regularly monitor annual work plans at the regional level through Operations Review Meetings (ORMs), which will now be delegated to them;

4. at the project level, provide Management guidance through the MRMs, which will be delegated to them (except for certain key categories of projects such as program loans);

5. chair interdepartmental steering committees set up for specific tasks, either singly or jointly and

6. undertake representational and external relations work in their regions, and in international gatherings related to those regions.

While Vice President (F&A) will continue to be responsible for the financial and administrative services of ADB, his role has been better aligned with the new organizational structure. The role and responsibilities of Vice Presidents will continue to be examined.
