In 2008, Asian Development Bank (ADB) became the first multilateral development bank to adopt a corporate-wide results framework. Using the performance indicators and targets of the framework, ADB reports on its progress towards its Strategy 2020 goals in the annual Development Effectiveness Review. The Review rates ADB's performance using a scorecard, discusses issues, and identifies steps for improvement.

The seminar will present the highlights of ADB's 2011 Development Effectiveness Review, its fifth annual corporate performance report, and discuss ADB reform initiatives that respond to the findings of the review.
