Cooperation between ADB and NGOs

The thrust of the 1998 policy on cooperation with NGOs is to

• recognize the competencies of NGOs and the many roles they play in development,
• to identify areas where common interests and complementarity between ADB and NGOs exist.

As appropriate, the Bank will work to identify mechanisms to expand and strengthen interaction with NGOs in loan and technical assistance activities, in country programming and country-level work, and in policy development. Read the full chapter.
