Additionality of the Asian Development Bank’s Nonsovereign Operations

 The evaluation analyzed the additionality of ADB’s nonsovereign operations (NSO) and reviewed ADB’s strategies, programs of assistance and their outcomes. The Independent Evaluation Department (IED) examined ADB's additionality in NSO covering the period 2008–2020. 

The evaluation informed the Board and Management discussion of the extent and nature of ADB’s NSO additionality, given the bank’s focus on expanding support for private sector. The evaluation drew success factors and lessons from experience and made recommendations to help enhance the success of ADB’s private sector operations.
