Funds for the Poor: Special Evaluation Study: Asian Development Fund VI-VII Operations
Chakwin, Naomi | December 2003
Abstract
Asian Development Fund (ADF) has played an instrumental role in helping countries meet their development challenges. The fact that the Asia and Pacific region is home to about 755 million poor living on less than $1 a day, underscores the need to effectively channel these funds into sustainable activities that will improve the quality of life of the poor in the region. Meeting this challenge throughout the 1990s has been complicated by the shock of transition for the countries of the former Soviet Union and an unprecedented financial crisis in East Asia.
To assess the performance of ADF and draw lessons from past experience, donors requested an independent review. This report covers a 9-year period (1992-2000) for ADF VI-VII.
