 Curriculum
for Managing for Development Results
MfDR offers an excellent incentive for best practice in development effectiveness. The MfDR Curriculum at ADB targets different audiences. MfDR involves rank and file staff who need to learn how to manage projects for results, staff performing country programming--the centerpiece of ADB's MfDR action plan and broader agenda--and directors and senior managers who will mainstream MfDR and manage increasing workloads.
Country Initiatives
 BhutanEnding its self-imposed isolation in the 1960s, Bhutan’s development activities date back only about 20 years. Nonetheless, it has embarked on a far-reaching development strategy based on the goal of boosting gross national happiness—a holistic concept combining material well-being with an individual’s spiritual, emotional, and cultural well-being. ADB lending operations in Bhutan started in 1983. Bank assistance in key sectors has contributed to steady achievements, particularly in transport, power, and urban infrastructure, where it is the lead development partner. The May 2005 Bhutan country assistance program evaluation notes that success is greatest and sustained the longest when ADB maintains long-term sector involvement combined with capacity-building programs and investment support. |
