ADB has been working closely with the Global Environment Facility (GEF)* since the mid-1990s. With the approval of ADB’s direct access to GEF full project resources in 2002, the partnership has been further strengthened.
The unique partnership is anchored on the recognition that the drive for global sustainability should be rooted in strong links between environment and development -- a clean environment is essential for both sustainable development and poverty reduction.
GEF provides grant and non-grant resources to developing countries for projects that benefit the global environment and promote sustainable livelihoods in local communities.
GEF projects and programs address six complex global environmental issues, corresponding to the GEF focal areas related to:
