FAQ

Why is MfDR important for ADB?

Development of a sound and achievable agenda for the introduction of improved techniques to MfDR is critical to ADB for two reasons:

  1. The new global imperative requires that all development partners and other stakeholders demonstrate high levels of effectiveness. This global agenda is based on an expectation that all institutions, including ADB, can demonstrate their development effectiveness. Now, more than ever before, stakeholders, including bilateral aid agencies, are inquiring into the empirical evidence that shows that institutions like ADB are effective and that their results are employed to manage those institutions. ADB will be better able to articulate the effectiveness of its financial and non-financial assistance by a more systematic method to manage for development results.

  2. ADB must constantly improve its management and its administration. ADB must constantly evolve to keep pace with the changing world of public administration, particularly among international finance institutions. Improved techniques to help us better manage for development results represents a significant step forward on this journey.
