Managing for Development Results at ADB

Action Plan on Managing for Development Results

MfDR is a management approach to improve planning, monitoring, and evaluating operations in order to achieve and sustain intended development results. MfDR aims to help managers answer three key questions, namely:

• are we being effective?
• how do we know we are?
• how do we use this information to determine future action?

ADB is helping its developing member countries (DMCs) increase their understanding and use of MfDR. More

ADB is strengthening its own capacity to manage for development results. More

It is not only important to align ADB's efforts with the approaches of its developing member countries, but also to harmonize with the individual and collective efforts of donors. More
