Poverty Reduction
Updated: 11 November 2009
ADB working for Asia and Pacific's poor
Poverty remains the most pressing issue facing Asia and the Pacific today. Despite some spectacular progress over the last few decades, the region remains home to two thirds of the world's poor.
ADB is dedicated to combating the region's poverty in all its aspects, fostering growth, social development and good governance to boost incomes and opportunities, improve living conditions, and provide the basic services many in richer countries take for granted.
The impact of its work can be measured by the progress the Asia and Pacific region makes toward the Millennium Development Goals and other development objectives indicated in our partner countries' national poverty reduction strategies.
