ADB's country partnership strategy (CPS) for 2008–2010 builds on the successful lending and technical assistance program of ADB in the PRC spanning the past 20 years. To remain successful and relevant, ADB will be more responsive to the PRC’s rapidly changing needs. ADB's assistance during the CPS period will respond to economic and social development challenges in the PRC and be guided by the Government’s priorities and ADB’s strategic directions. The underlying theme driving the CPS will be enhanced value addition through emphasis on knowledge, innovation, and governance.
