Learning Curves: Setting a Development Agenda for Asia and the Pacific in the Post-MDG Era

Abstract

Independent Evaluation’s study ADB’s Support for Achieving the Millennium Development Goals assesses how Asia and the Pacific are advancing the MDGs, the effectiveness of ADB’s support to developing member countries for achieving them, and the emerging issues for a new development roadmap for the region. The study also seeks to answer a question that will be crucial for that agenda: does setting goals make a difference to development results?
