Strategies and Programs Under Preparation

The Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) defines ADB's medium-term development strategy in accordance with a country’s poverty reduction strategy, development plans and priorities. The CPS includes an indicative 3-year country operations business plan identifying ADB’s interventions in priority areas. A CPS mid-term review is conducted to assess progress toward achieving CPS outcomes and validity of the strategy. An indicative country operations business plan for the subsequent 3 years will be attached to the CPS review paper.

Likewise, the Regional Cooperation Strategy (RCS) provides the rationale for proposed ADB assistance at the subregional level. The RCS specifies how ADB assistance complements country-level poverty reduction efforts and strategies.

Below is the list of new CPS and RCSs scheduled for preparation over the course of the next year. Please note that the dates are indicative, subject to change.
