HQ and Field Offices
Since its foundation in 1966, ADB's Headquarters has been based in Manila, Philippines. Its present building in the business district of Ortigas, Mandaluyong City, was opened in 1991 and accommodates about 3,000 personnel.
ADB also has 27 field offices, including resident and regional missions, a country office, a liaison office, and representative offices.
The field offices give vital support to the operations and outreach work of ADB's Manila Headquarters. They carry out much of ADB's operational roles of country programming, processing of loan and grant assistance, project administration, and economic and sector analysis.
They also ensure that ADB remains responsive to local needs and issues, providing a channel for broader and more direct contact with ADB's member countries and development partners, including governments, project agencies, the private sector, and civil society. In addition, they play a vital role in assisting in external relations and dissemination of knowledge.
