Thailand and ADB

The country operations business plan (COBP) 2021–2023 for Thailand of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) is consistent with its country partnership strategy (CPS), 2013–2016, which still remains valid. The CPS is aligned with the Government of Thailand’s policies and action plans and ADB’s Strategy 2030. ADB is preparing its new CPS, 2021–2025, under which the proposed COBP acts as a bridge between the current CPS, 2013–2016 and the forthcoming CPS, 2021–2025, planned to obtain an approval by Q1 2021.

The country operations business plan (COBP), 2020–2022 of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for Thailand will be a bridge to fill the gap between the country partnership strategy (CPS), 2013–2016 and the forthcoming CPS, 2020–2024. ADB’s COBP lays the foundation for the expected strategic directions of the forthcoming CPS. It also maintains consistency with three strategic directions and four program areas of ADB’s CPS, 2013–2016, all of which still remain fully relevant and valid.
