The Asian Development Bank (ADB) envisions a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty in the region. Despite the region's many successes, it remains home to a large share of the world's poor: 263 million living on less than $1.90 a day and 1.1 billion on less than $3.20 a day.

ADB assists its members, and partners, by providing loans, technical assistance, grants, and equity investments to promote social and economic development.

ADB maximizes the development impact of its assistance by facilitating policy dialogues, providing advisory services, and mobilizing financial resources through cofinancing operations that tap official, commercial, and export credit sources.

To achieve the vision of Strategy 2030, four shifts need acceleration

Climate change: Increase their capacity as the region’s climate bank by embedding climate action across their operations and near-doubling our annual climate financing.

Private sector development: Strengthen our role as a catalyst for the private sector by spurring greater private sector participation in Asia’s development.

Solutions: Elevate our role as the region’s solutions bank through holistic, knowledge-based, innovative, and integrated solutions.

New ways of working: Empower staff to provide value and impact to clients by living our values and becoming more efficient, agile, and collaborative.
