Managing for Development Results at ADB

Technical Assistance

As part of ADB's good governance policy, ADB provides technical assistance and loans to its developing member countries (DMCs) on key macro, strategic management and governance processes. Examples of these processes are strategic planning, public financial management, civil service reforms, and decentralization.

ADB also provides technical assistance to help develop DMC statistical capacity to measure and monitor development results. It adopted a new statistical capacity development approach in 2006 which aims to make ADB's assistance more focused, systematic and results oriented.

In recent years ADB has provided technical assistance that aims primarily to introduce MfDR approaches in DMCs. Some of these initiatives are financed from the MfDR Cooperation Fund.

ADB uses the findings of the results-based country partnership strategy as the basis for its MfDR capacity development assistance program in each DMC.
