With strong support from the Government, ADB drew up the first results-based country strategy and program for 2006–2010 based on the Government’s medium-term development strategy. Consolidating earlier ADB program themes, the country strategy and program focuses on four strategic areas: public financial management, private sector development, the transport sector, and health and HIV/AIDS.
ADB increased its participation in policy dialogue and its assistance for the preparation of new projects. It approved the first ADF grant project for Papua New Guinea. The project, which Australia and New Zealand are cofinancing, will help prevent and control HIV/AIDS in rural development enclaves, strengthen surveillance, and introduce the social marketing of condoms.
