Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction: Stories of Triumph from the Field
Asian Development Bank | April 2013
Abstract
This publication compiles project outcomes and success stories and presents some of the accomplishments of the Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction (JFPR).
The Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction (JFPR) was established in May 2000 and provides direct grant assistance to the poorest and most vulnerable groups in developing member countries (DMCs) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) while fostering long-term socioeconomic development. The grants target poverty reduction initiatives with the direct participation of nongovernment organizations, community groups, and civil society.
In 2009, the Government of Japan and ADB expanded the scope of JFPR to include provision of support to DMCs through capacity development, policy and advisory, research and development, and project preparatory technical assistance.
