Asian Development Bank - ADB

The Asian Development Bank's mission is to help developing Asia - Pacific nations reduce poverty and improve their people's quality of life.

Despite impressive advances over the past decade, Asia and the Pacific still remain home to two thirds of the world's poor.

ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration in partnership with governments, the private sector, NGOs, development agencies, and communities.

In 2010 ADB grants, loans, and other approvals and support for developing Asia-Pacific nations totaled $17.5 billion (including cofinancing).
