Social Poverty
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) emphasize social outcomes for poverty reduction including gender equality (MDG 3), and focusing on poor children (MDG 4), mothers (MDG 5), and the elderly. Coherent with a focus on pro-poor growth, ADB's Medium Term Strategy (MTS II) emphasizes educational and gender contributions to poverty reduction as comparative advantage for assisting partner countries.
