Review of Existing Policies

A review of the Poverty Reduction Strategy was initiated in 2003 to refine ADB’s institutional response to its overriding goal of poverty reduction. Reviews of policies on financial management included the “Review of ADB’s Lending and Borrowing Limitations,” the “Review of the Resource Position of ADB,” and the “Review of ADB’s Income and Policy Framework” (ongoing). The “Review of the Management and Effectiveness of Technical Assistance Operations” resulted in important improvements in the management of ADB’s limited resources. “The Pilot Study for Delegation of Consultant Recruitment and Supervision under Technical Assistance to Executing Agencies” and reviews of the 1994 “Policy on Confidentiality and Disclosure of Information” and the “Information Policy and Strategy” were initiated.
