Description

The Work Program and Budget Framework, 2012–2014 (WPBF) presents a 3-year rolling operational plan to achieve the strategic objectives of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), as set out in Strategy 2020. It is an extension of the WPBF 2010–2012, which was the first after the fifth general capital increase, and the WPBF 2011–2013. In response to rising demand from ADB members, the WPBF 2010–2012 indicated a significant increase in the volume of operations compared with the level before the fifth general capital increase, and presented measures to align operations with Strategy 2020 priorities and improve development effectiveness. These measures included adjusting the composition of projects, strengthening the management of the expanding project portfolio, bolstering risk management and private sector operations (PSO), boosting knowledge activities, and improving client responsiveness. To deliver these measures, the WPBF 2010–2012 proposed 500 additional staff positions, including 180 international staff, along with efficiency measures.
