ADB's MDG Initiatives
Supporting partner countries in achieving targets

ADB's Long-Term Strategic Framework (LTSF 2001-2015) and Medium Term Strategy II (MTS 2006-2009) is well aligned with MDGs as international strategic development objective.

ADB's approach is to support its partner countries in achieving the MDG targets as set in their national MDG, poverty reduction, and development strategies. In addition, ADB promotes regional cooperation and partnerships on the MDGs.

ADB has taken a number of steps in support of the MDGs:

• Mainstreaming MDGs in Country Partnerships
• ADB Support to Measure and Monitor MDGs
• ADB-ESCAP-UNDP Partnership
