Strategy and Policy Dialogue.
The strategy aimed at promoting good governance and improving economic and financial management in the public sector by building capacity in public financial management and enhancing transparency and accountability within ministries and state-owned enterprises. It also sought to enhance employment opportunities and to promote human and social development by building skills and by improving essential services, particularly for education, health, water supply, and waste management. The strategy was in line with findings of ADB’s participatory poverty surveys: a lack of employment and other incomegenerating opportunities, poor quality of basic social services, and deteriorating quality of education.

Policy dialogue focused on good governance, service delivery, sound economic policy and management, and the preparation of the national sustainable development strategy. It also included dialogue on environmental concerns such as waste management and pollution control and on education reform.

In May 2003, ADB signed a PPA with the Government.

Loans and Technical Assistance.
No loans were approved. Three technical assistance projects totaling $560,000 were approved.
