Learning Curves:Increasing Strategic Focus for Better Results in the Philippines
Asian Development Bank | July 2008
Abstract
ADB's assistance program to the Philippines over the past 5 years (2003-2007) has been successful in meeting its more selective objectives, but improvements are needed.The context for the next country strategy remains daunting. The Philippines needs to(i) continue to exercise fiscal discipline and further expand its fiscal space; (ii) institute good governance more widely; (iii) accelerate infrastructure, education, and other social service development; (iv) support expansion and diversification of the economic base; and (v) make access to development opportunities more equitable.
