Infrastructure

Promoting pro-poor growth and enhancing human and social development of the poor requires affordable and reliable access to economic infrastructure facilities and services. The need for increased investments in infrastructure and for making infrastructure management and maintenance more efficient and more effective for the poor is widely recognized.

This website comprises knowledge products and operational experiences from ADB on poverty relevant infrastructure services in

transport
energy, and
Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

Further work on water infrastructure - both drinking water and irrigation - can be found in the urban and rural poverty links.

Do you know: In 2005, 416 million people lived in PRC on less than $2 per day, many from ethnic minorities in remote rural areas with limited access to welfare services and income-earning opportunities. An ADB technical assistance aims to provide a better rural transport system that would give them improved access to information, health, schooling, social interaction, better-quality services and cash-earning opportunities.
