In selecting the panel members, ADB considered a desirable range of expertise and experience across regional perspectives, gender, and key areas targeted in ADB's water policy: national policy reform, water resources management, water service delivery, conservation, regional cooperation and communication, and governance.
The panel members attended in all Review Panel meetings, participated in some of the in-country or regional consultation meetings, and contributed to the preparation of the final report for circulation to ADB Management.
The Panel conducted four work sessions. These sessions were informed by consultations, workshops with ADB staff, and feedback obtained through other events and surveys.
