Operational Plan for Enhancing ADB’s Effectiveness in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Situations 1st Edition – (PDF/EPUB Version)

Supporting its developing member countries (DMCs) affected by fragility and conflict is a high priority for the Asian Development Bank (ADB). This is demonstrated by ADB’s adoption of its 2007 approach, which responds to the special challenges faced by DMCs experiencing conditions that are now generally described as fragile and conflict-affected situations (FCAS), and by ADB’s endorsement of the New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States in 2011. ADB’s Strategy 2020 reinforces its commitment to FCAS. This publication provides details on actions that ADB will take to improve the development impact of its support to DMCs that are experiencing fragility and the effects of conflict on either a national or subnational level.
