Managing for Development Results

ADB must make sure all its programs and projects contain pro-poor elements

Managing for Development Results at ADB is focused on improved learning and decision making at the DMC level, within its own institutional framework, and globally as part of an emerging network of Managing for Development Results institutions and practitioners.

During 2005, for example, ADB produced the first results-based annual report on its poverty reduction strategy. The report assesses progress in advancing the strategy, and introduces a results-based monitoring and evaluation framework with clear indicators.

The ADB Board of Directors also endorsed resultsbased country strategies and programs in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Mongolia, and Philippines, the first batch to join the 2004 debut of Nepal’s pilot results-based country strategy and program. The country strategies and programs for Fiji Islands, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Uzbekistan, and Viet Nam are being developed to include tools to enable those programs to be managed for development results. All are being put together after extensive consultations with a broad spectrum of stakeholders in those countries, making the strategies and programs more inclusive and reflective than ever before of the needs of the poor.
