Sector priorities

The nine sector committees (see Box below) formed in 2002 have the same mandate as their thematic counterparts. Each sector committee and its interdisciplinary network encourage professional development and quality output. The committees aim to ensure that projects are relevant to ADB policies, and that country strategies and programs are designed to a high standard, have appropriate institutional arrangements, and address sustainability and risks. The committees provide inputs and advice at the project concept, design, and feasibility study stages.
