MfDR Cooperation Fund
Updated: 12 March 2008

MfDR Cooperation FundThe Managing for Development Results (MfDR) Cooperation Fund was established in March 2004 to support the introduction of MfDR approaches in ADB's developing member countries (DMCs).

Examples of country-level initiatives that may be financed under the Fund include:

  • introduction of results-based planning and budgeting techniques
  • preparation of results-oriented national development plans and strategies, sector plans and roadmaps
  • improvement of methods for measuring, monitoring and managing for results
  • training of DMC officials on MfDR
