ADB (Asian Development Bank) is a multilateral development finance
institution dedicated to reducing poverty in Asia and the Pacific. Established
in 1966, they are now owned by 63 members.
ADB's development work is aimed at improving the welfare of the people of
Asia and the Pacific, especially of the 900 million poor living on less than
a dollar a day.
Under Strategy 2020, a long-term strategic framework adopted in 2008,
Asian Development Bank will follow three complementary strategic agendas:
- inclusive growth,
- environmentally sustainable growth, and

The highest decision making tier at Asian Development Bank is its Board of Governors, to which each of ADB's 67 members nominate one Governor and an Alternate Governor to represent them. The Board of Governors meets formally once a year at an Annual Meeting held in a member country.
Dynamic economic development has substantially helped reduce poverty in Asia and the Pacific. Despite some spectacular progress over the last few decades, the region remains home to two thirds of the world's poor.
The number of people living in absolute poverty remains high at 903 million (2005).
Asian Development Bank works in partnership with governments and public and private enterprises in its developing member countries on projects and programs that will contribute to economic and social development, based on the country's needs and priorities.
In 2008, ADB approved loans worth $10.5 billion for 86 projects, most of which went to the public sector. Technical assistance, which is used to prepare and implement projects and support advisory and regional activities, amounted to $274.5 million. Grant-financed projects totaled $811.4 million.
India was the largest
borrower, followed by People’s Republic of China,
Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.
