Annual Report 2003 : Moving the Poverty Reduction Agenda Forward: Priorities and Outcomes

---

Regional Perspectives

ADB’s regional departments replaced the program and project departments as a result of the reorganization of 2002. This move strengthened ADB’s country focus, unified accountability for operations in a developing member country (DMC), and facilitated regional and interregional cooperation, a crosscutting theme of the Long-Term Strategic Framework 2001–2015 (LTSF). The departments are East and Central Asia, Mekong, Pacific, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. Each covers a group of geographically contiguous countries with similar cultures, economies, and societies. The tasks of the departments include implementing the strategic agenda and developing and updating the country strategy and program (CSP). Each DMC has a team of staff from headquarters and resident missions if applicable.
