Asian Development
Bank throws its weight behind the MDGs
The Asian Development
Bank (ADB) takes pride in its role in helping its developing
member countries—and the entire region—achieve
the Millennium Development Goals. But meeting them by 2015
will be a challenge, with many countries potentially falling
short of achieving some or all of the targets. ADB is committed
to creating an environment for achieving the MDGs, a shared
responsibility of all development stakeholders. To assist
in its work ADB dedicated a Review to highlighting MDG issues
and providing examples of innovative projects that are eradicating
extreme poverty and hunger, strengthening primary education,
promoting gender equality, improving health, fighting HIV/AIDS,
protecting the environment, and promoting partnership. For
