About the Asian Development Bank
The Asian Development Bank (ADB)’s work is aimed at improving
the welfare of the people of the Asia and Pacific region, particularly
for the 1.9 billion who live on less than $2 a day. Despite the success
stories, Asia and the Pacific remains home to two thirds of the
world’s poor. ADB is a multilateral development finance institution
owned by 64 members, 46 from the region and 18 from other parts
of the globe. ADB’s vision is a region free of poverty. Its mission is
to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and
improve their quality of life.
ADB’s main instruments in providing help to its developing
member countries are policy dialogues, loans, technical assistance,
grants, guarantees, and equity investments. ADB’s annual lending
volume is typically about $6 billion, with technical assistance
provided usually totaling about $180 million a year.
ADB’s headquarters is in Manila. It has 26 offices around the
world. The organization has more than 2,000 employees from over
50 countries.
