About
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is a multilateral development institution that partners with governments, private sector, and civil society to address Asia and the Pacific’s most complex development challenges. Its core mandate spans economics, infrastructure, energy, transportation, water, and urban development, while also prioritizing environmental management, climate change mitigation, and education. ADB leverages a mix of investment, finance, and technical assistance—including sovereign and non‑sovereign project financing and public‑private partnership facilitation—to deliver sustainable growth. Its distinctive strength lies in deep regional expertise, large‑scale funding capacity, and a collaborative approach that integrates policy, technology, and local knowledge to create resilient, inclusive development outcomes.
