How will ADB achieve its vision?
ADB can make substantive contributions toward its vision by focusing its support on three distinct but complementary development agendas of the region: inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Reducing poverty requires inclusive growth where more people become economically productive citizens and share in a society’s growing well-being. The ability to achieve and to sustain poverty reduction depends on well-managed natural environment. Further, ADB believes that the process of ending poverty in the region can be accelerated when neighboring economies work within larger and freer markets and when governments achieve common interests through common efforts through regional cooperation.
