Cooperation Fund in Support of the Formulation and Implementation of National Poverty Reduction Strategies - NPRS
Updated: 1 July 2008

The NPRS helps ADB's developing member countries formulate, prioritize, implement, monitor and reformulate national poverty reduction strategies through

  • technical assistance grants
  • regional training and capacity building activities
  • piloting of participation activities for poverty reduction and governance

The selection and management of NPRS is done jointly with the Poverty Reduction Cooperation Fund (PRF). Read the NPRS Board Paper for more information.

Looking Back, Moving Forward
(NPRS-PRF Newsletter - Issue 6, December 2007)

After supporting about 120 projects throughout the Asia and Pacific region over the past 5 years, two of ADB’s poverty reduction trust funds—the NPRS and the PRF—are now being closed. In our spotlight, we look back at those years and take stock of how these funds have contributed to ADB and its poverty reduction work. And in our features section, we take a closer look at lessons on regional cooperation and integration—one of the major themes supported by the two funds—that ADB can use to further enhance its poverty reduction work. Seven additional case studies are also included in this edition.
