Abstract

The following report is a summary of presentations and discussions at the “Joint Training Programme on Economic Corridor Development for Competitive and Inclusive Asia”, organised by the Centre for Multilateralism Studies at RSIS; the Asian Development Bank (ADB); the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI); and the Singapore Cooperation Programme (SCP). The capacity-building programme provided an opportunity for officials from the Asian region to gain knowledge on how to develop an economic corridor within their respective countries and sub-regions, and how such an economic corridor could support development. The three-day programme comprised seminars and presentations by various experts including academics, policymakers and project consultants. The programme also provided opportunities for brainstorming and allowed the participants to apply and share their own experiences in developing economic corridors.
