This compendium of knowledge products represents the results of the active knowledge management (KM) campaign taken by the East Asia Department (EARD) in 2006–2007. It contains abstracts from 27 key knowledge products completed in 2007.

The goal was to enhance the partnership of ADB with Mongolia (MON) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) for development impact and client responsiveness.

A KM Unit was established in 2006, with two professional staff, one national officer, and one administrative staff. Knowledge initiatives in MON and the PRC aim to enhance responsiveness and flexibility of ADB assistance program through forward-looking programming and comprehensive resource-planning.

This aims to strengthen ADB-PRC cooperation through understanding of issues and facilitate the sharing of the PRC’s development experience among countries in the region.

The Country Strategy and Program Update for Mongolia (2007–2009) supports strategic and focused approach to knowledge through its nonlending program, with emphasis on institutional organization, efficiency of public service delivery, better coordination and monitoring, and strengthened results agenda. ...

About the Asian Development Bank
ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries substantially reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people.

Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two thirds of the world’s poor. Nearly 1.7 billion people in the region live on $2 or less a day. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration.

Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance. In 2007, it approved $10.1 billion of loans, $673 million of grant projects, and technical assistance amounting to $243 million.
