Consultant's
Report: TA 4765 - Operationalization of Managing for Development Results

future intervention programs to help the Government of Nepal in further
implementating MfDR in government agencies.
TA
7193 - Lao People’s Democratic Republic: Capacity Strengthening
for Enhancing Aid Effectiveness
The expected outcome of this technical assistance project is for the Government
of Lao PDR to exercise effective leadership in coordinating aid to be
supported by three outputs: (i) a further strengthened RTP coordination
process, and in particular the infrastructure and macroeconomics and private
sectors; (ii) enhanced capacity of DIC units in managing aid at one to
three selected provinces; and (iii) strengthened capacity of the SWG secretariats
and line ministries to coordinate policy and program approaches in the
infrastructure sector and the macroeconomics and private sector. The expected
impact is improved capacity of Government to improve aid effectiveness.
Country
Partnership and Regional Cooperation Strategies under Preparation
The Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) defines ADB's medium-term development
strategy in accordance with a country’s poverty reduction strategy,
development plans and priorities. The CPS includes an indicative 3-year
country operations business plan identifying ADB’s interventions
in priority areas. A CPS mid-term review is conducted to assess progress
toward achieving CPS outcomes and validity of the strategy. An indicative
country operations business plan for the subsequent 3 years will be attached
to the CPS review paper. Likewise, the Regional Cooperation Strategy (RCS)
provides the rationale for proposed ADB assistance at the subregional
level. The RCS specifies how ADB assistance complements country-level
poverty reduction efforts and strategies.

Country Spotlight:
Maldives
ADB’s strategy for 2007–2011 is fully aligned with the goals
and objectives of the Government's Seventh National Development Plan and
has been closely aligned with those of development partners. ADB’s
assistance is focused on those areas in which it has a strong, proven
performance record in the Maldives and for which the Government clearly
wants ADB’s assistance.
A sequenced approach to providing ADB support has been defined. During
the first phase, a holistic set of capacity-development interventions
will be supported. Once readiness is secured, ADB’s second phase
of assistance will include strategic support for investments and sector
reform in transport, power, and small to medium-sized enterprise development.
Given the Maldives’ graduation to the status of middle-income country
in December 2004 (the effectiveness of which was postponed to January
2011 due to the tsunami), ADB will also explore the possibilities of undertaking
nonsovereign operations.
