Poverty Reduction Strategy (1999)

In 1999, ADB published its Poverty Reduction Strategy responding to three key elements:

• Pro-poor, sustainable economic growth
• Social development (human capital, social capital, gender and development, social protection)
• Good Governance

The Strategy outlines how these three elements underpin ADB's programs of policy reform, investment projects and capacity building.
