What are the challenges ahead for the Reform Agenda?
ADB reached important milestones in several reform initiatives. However, more work needs to be done. The reform agenda is a process of continuous change. Not only must ADB move to accelerate the implementation of initiatives under the reform agenda where it has lagged, but it must also thoroughly operationalize the changes already adopted. Reform of policies, strategies, process, structure, and incentives can change behavior, but that change requires robust implementation and time. Management is committed to achieving that change.
