Description
Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy The Asian Development Bank s (ADB) Social Protection Strategy aims to support its developing member countries (DMCs) in their efforts to reduce poverty and vulnerability by providing effective social protection for the Asia and Pacific population. While most of the DMCs have social protection programs and policies, many of them have undertaken initiatives to expand the existing social protection systems over the recent years. Enhancing social protection remains an important policy imperative for most DMCs.

Project Data Sheets (PDS) contain summary information on the project or program. Because the PDS is a work in progress, some information may not be included in its initial version but will be added as it becomes available. Information about proposed projects is tentative and indicative.

The Access to Information Policy (AIP) recognizes that transparency and accountability are essential to development effectiveness. It establishes the disclosure requirements for documents and information ADB produces or requires to be produced.

The Accountability Mechanism provides a forum where people adversely affected by ADB-assisted projects can voice and seek solutions to their problems and report alleged noncompliance of ADB's operational policies and procedures.

In preparing any country program or strategy, financing any project, or by making any designation of, or reference to, a particular territory or geographic area in this document, the Asian Development Bank does not intend to make any judgments as to the legal or other status of any territory or area.
