Evaluation Resources

This issue of the Learning Curves looked into the performance of ADB's public and private sector assistance related to the development of policy, legal and regulatory framework and institutions for stock and bond markets from 1986-2006.

On 24 July 2008, the Director General of the Operations Evaluation Department of the Asian Development Bank received this response from the Managing Director General on behalf of Management on the Country Assistance Program Evaluation for the Philippines: Increasing Strategic Focus for Better Results.

ADB's assistance program to the Philippines over the past 5 years (2003-2007) has been successful in meeting its more selective objectives, but improvements are needed.

This second country assistance program evaluation for the Philippines covers operations from 2003 to 2007. It was prepared to provide directional inputs to the next country partnership strategy.
