5 Reasons ADB Engages with the Civil Society Source: 1998 ADB Policy, BP/OP and 2016-2020 Strategic Priorities

Engaging more in consultations at design
Not much in implementation and monitoring
= missed opportunities and benefits Strategic priorities 2016 -2020 call for more
Global trends provide new opportunities
