ADB Plan for Operational Priority 5: Promoting Rural Development and Food Security, 2019–2024
Published by: Independent Evaluation Department, Asian Development Bank
The purpose of the evaluation was to examine how well ADB is prepared and responsive to support rural development and food security in Asia and the Pacific. The evaluation scope focused on rural development and food security as envisaged in the OP5 plan and reflected in ADB’s country partnership strategies (CPSs) and portfolio. The evaluation scope covers commitments and project evaluations (sovereign and nonsovereign) in 2017–2022, 3 years before and after OP5 was issued, to track and analyze changes in design and assess the likelihood of meeting OP5 objectives.
This evaluation presents recommendations on how ADB can build on its experience to deliver coherent and effective support to help ADB’s developing member countries achieve prosperous rural economies, reduce malnutrition, crowd in private sector, and attain food security for its developing member countries.
