F. Establishment of a Management Committee

69. With the increasing complexity of ADB’s operations, and with five regional departments responsible for operations, it will be important to ensure that there is a well-coordinated management system in place. For this purpose, there will be a Management Committee to provide high-level advice and support to the President from an ADB-wide perspective.

70. The Management Committee will consist of the President, as the Chair, and the three Vice Presidents. Senior staff will be invited to participate according to the agenda. The Committee will meet weekly. Secretariat services will be provided by the Office of the Secretary.

71. The Committee is expected to focus on the following areas:

1. serve as the principal management forum for considering ADB-wide strategic and policy matters;

2. discuss annual and medium-term ADB-wide work plans;

3. discuss major operational matters at ADB-wide level;

4. formulate consistent and coherent responses to external issues and agencies;

5. provide a forum for the free and frank exchange of ideas and proposals at the higher levels of ADB; and

6. consider other issues of importance to ADB.
