DELIVERING MEANINGFUL OUTCOMES

People, Planet, and Prosperity

ADB completed operations, a total of 188 in 2025, have contributed to improve people’s lives, protect the planet, and support sustainable prosperity across Asia and the Pacific. These operations show ADB’s response evolving to address the increasingly complex, interconnected, and diverse challenges facing ADB developing member countries. 


ADB operations delivered results through multiple pathways. Many individual operations contributed to more than one of the 12 development results measured by the report, while individual results were achieved through a diverse mix of sovereign, non-sovereign, and technical assistance operations spanning investments, policy reforms, institutional strengthening, and knowledge support.

A sizable number of ADB operations that completed in 2025 delivered timely support to developing member countries in the wake of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and disasters triggered by natural hazards and climate change. They strengthened country preparedness and long-term resilience amid macroeconomic, fiscal, and institutional pressures, and directly benefited individuals. Crisis response operations reached 52.2 million people, of which 35.2 million were poor or vulnerable.

Two indicators on people fell short of ADB’s 100% achievement target. In 2025, ADB introduced updated criteria and revised a poverty reduction and inclusion classification system to strengthen how poverty and social impacts are assessed, designed, and reported across operations. The 2026 rollout of the Handbook on Poverty and Social Analysis is expected to build a foundation for improved performance and reporting in the coming years.

Women Challenge Gender Stereotypes in Rural Cambodia

  • Full story

Before the improvement supported by the project, we, including myself, had to travel far to collect water and spent a lot of time waiting for our turn. Now, we have more time that we [can] use for other productive activities.

– Nouv Soeum, member of the Commune Committee for Women and Children and project beneficiary

Overview

Dil Chantha used to spend at least two hours per day walking from her home village of Trapeang Prey in Cambodia’s Beanteay Meanchey Province to the nearest community pond to fetch clean water for her family’s use. During the dry season, she—along with other women and girls—had to walk farther to reach a water source, increasing her workload and putting her personal safety at risk in navigating slippery paths with a heavy load. Given her work as a farmer, this left Dil little time for almost anything else.

In Cambodia, the responsibility for a household’s water, sanitation, and hygiene typically rests with women. Mothers are responsible for children’s hygiene and access to safe sanitation. Many have limited decision-making power within the family or community due to gender disparities in roles, education, and economic opportunities. Gender inequality is also a major issue at the national government level.

ADB’s Impact

The Asian Development Bank’s (ADB’s) Second Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project (RWSSP2) and its Additional Financing (RWSSP2AF), implemented from 2009 to 2020, paved the way for major changes in Dil’s village. It also benefitted other villages across six provinces around Tonle Sap Lake, where many of Cambodia’s poorest people live.

Women and girls in particular now benefit from safer water supply and sanitation services after the project rehabilitated existing wells and built new wells and a small community water supply system for about 370,000 rural residents. The updated water sources are closer to their homes (not more than 150 meters), saving them time fetching water and decreasing their risk of sexual harassment or violence.

Access to clean water has also reduced the incidence of waterborne disease, not only among women and children, but in the whole population. It has decreased health-related expenses and the time spent by women caring for sick family members. The time savings have enabled women to be more active in social, political, and economic activities in their villages.

ADB operations harnessed innovative technology to contribute directly to energy security and emission mitigation goals to fully meet ADB’s targets for these indicators. Private sector projects completed in 2025 collectively delivered 744 megawatts of renewable energy capacity in the form of wind, solar, hydropower, waste-to-energy, and energy storage investments. A public sector investment facility in India added a further 698 megawatts by securing private sector investment. In Pakistan, a policy-based loan improved the energy sector’s regulatory framework to heighten investor confidence in renewables.

Performance of new indicators which aim to measure outcomes delivered to strengthen food and nutrition security, and ecosystem conservation and sustainable management is nascent.Operations contributing to these are expected to increase in the coming years as project design and completion reports better align with the new indicators.

More Water for Farms, More Food for Everyone

  • Full story

Overview

Reliable irrigation is transforming the lives of Indonesia’s farmers. For years, aging and underperforming irrigation systems left many farming communities without enough water, reducing crop yields, lowering incomes, and threatening food security.

ADB’s Impact

To address this, the Government of Indonesia launched its Irrigation Improvement Program (2015–2025). In 2017, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) committed $500 million to support the program, alongside $100 million from the ASEAN Infrastructure Fund and $28 million from the World Bank. The partnership is improving irrigation infrastructure and strengthening water management across 74 districts.

By 2023, about 523,000 hectares of irrigation schemes had been rehabilitated, while 4,500 water user associations and 88 irrigation commissions had strengthened their capacity to manage water resources sustainably. An irrigation asset management information system also helps improve the operation and maintenance of irrigation infrastructure.
With more reliable access to water, farmers are increasing agricultural productivity, improving their livelihoods, and contributing to Indonesia’s long-term food security.

Microfinance: Empowering women to rebuild lives after crisis

  • Full story

I own a motor parts supply store, a sari-sari store and I make construction blocks.  We were in the evacuation center for a long time because Marawi was taken over by armed men. When we came back from evacuation, everything was gone. I only started again because ASA offered me capital.

– Noraisa Decampong

Overview

Microfinance institutions (MFIs) play an important role for those who cannot access traditional financial services. In 2018, ADB partnered with ASA Philippines Foundation, one of the largest MFIs in the Philippines, to launch a $30 million loan facility. The partnership helped ASA expand its operation and provide wider access to finance for women borrowers from poor communities in lagging and conflict-impacted provinces in the Philippines, including Marawi.

With payment arrangements tailored for borrowers during a crisis, the project demonstrates how microfinance can be an avenue for disaster relief, and for empowering women to rebuild their lives after a crisis. ASA’s business model also shows the commercial sustainability of microfinance and attracts private capital to this sector.

In Cambodia, the responsibility for a household’s water, sanitation, and hygiene typically rests with women. Mothers are responsible for children’s hygiene and access to safe sanitation. Many have limited decision-making power within the family or community due to gender disparities in roles, education, and economic opportunities. Gender inequality is also a major issue at the national government level.

7. People with strengthened climate and disaster resilience (number)

Calculations:

Number: Total number of individuals who benefit from strengthened climate and disaster resilience under ADB projects.

Achievement rate: Calculated using the ratio of the aggregate amount of results reported in project completion reports (PCR), technical assistance completion reports (TCR) or extended annual review reports (XARR) published in the reporting year (numerator), as having been achieved by ADB-supported operations to the planned results as reported in reports and recommendations of the President (RRP) for the same operations (denominator).

Definition:

Strengthened climate and disaster resilience is the enhanced ability of an individual to resist, absorb, recover from, and reorganize in response to climate and disaster-related shocks and stresses, without jeopardizing their sustained socioeconomic development.

The benefits of ADB projects counted for the purpose of this indicator include:

  • Use of retrofitted or new disaster-resilient facilities (e.g., housing, educational facilities, health care facilities, government offices)
  • Use of stored water during periods of drought
  • Reduced exposure to flooding
  • Use of improved early warning information
  • Financial protection against disaster damage and loss
  • Use of new disaster risk management knowledge and skills (e.g., in livelihood decisions)
  • Use of knowledge, skills, and competences on climate mitigation, adaptation, disaster risk, and early warning.

The number of people protected by contingent disaster financing, sovereign or subsovereign parametric insurance products, catastrophe bonds, and resilience bonds should be based on the total number of people in the relevant country affected by disasters over the past 20 years divided by the number of reported events (or, for subsovereign products, the total number of people in the subsovereign entity affected by disasters over the past 20 years divided by the number of reported events in that entity).

Other notes:

Where cases of double-counting can be identified, the same individual benefiting from improvements in more than one area under different ADB projects will only be counted once.

Total number of individuals may be estimated based on the coverage area. Sex-disaggregation may be estimated from the household data, based on average household composition.

8. People with strengthened food and nutrition security (number)

Calculations:

Number: Total number of individuals who benefit from strengthened food and nutrition security under ADB projects.

Achievement rate: Calculated using the ratio of the aggregate amount of results reported in project completion reports (PCR), technical assistance completion reports (TCR) or extended annual review reports (XARR) published in the reporting year (numerator), as having been achieved by ADB-supported operations to the planned results as reported in reports and recommendations of the President (RRP) for the same operations (denominator).

Definition:

Operations across multiple sectors that strengthen food security may refer to interventions that may span the universally accepted dimensions of food security, including the availability of food, access to food, utilization of food and the stability of food systems. Examples of such interventions could include operations which relate directly to food production and consumption, such as climate resilient agriculture and food systems; social protection/social safety nets; nutrition services; supply chain, financial and trade finance operations that support food inputs, imports, and distribution of food, etc.; increase the income of small-scale food producers; water for agriculture; agricultural services, improved practices and technologies; integration of (smallholder) farmers to markets.

Food security is defined when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.

11.Businesses and public institutions with improved service delivery and financial stability (number)

Calculations:

Number: Total number of private and public entities that demonstrated evidence of improved service delivery and financial management under ADB supported operations.

Achievement rate: Calculated using the ratio of the aggregate amount of results reported in project completion reports (PCR), technical assistance completion reports (TCR) or extended annual review reports (XARR) published in the reporting year (numerator), as having been achieved by ADB-supported operations to the planned results as reported in reports and recommendations of the President (RRP) for the same operations (denominator).

Definition:

Entities may be any national and subnational government, department, agency, a special purpose district or province, as well as private entities. Private entities include broadly private sector companies.

Improvement is measured by institutional strengthening in the following areas:

  • Macroeconomic and fiscal stability, debt sustainability, banking (e.g., financial regulation and supervision), and capital markets: Entities would have built fiscal space to manage shocks through policies that relate to expenditure, revenue, debt, and fiscal balance as well as policies focused on broadening the economic base.
  • Public financial management: Entities would have improved relevant performance measures, such as increasing the “budget execution rate,” ensuring “prompt reconciliation of bank balances through Treasury Single Account system,” or improving the “timeliness of the release of semiannual budget reports on available media.”
  • Tax policy and administration: Entities would have improved relevant performance measures, such as increasing “the number of registered taxpayers,” reducing “custom clearance times,” or improving “client perception of tax administration.”
  • Civil service and public administration: Entities would have improved relevant performance measures, such as increasing the “share of merit-based appointments,” reducing the “time for key services and administrative processes,” or increasing the “percentage of the population reporting satisfaction with central government services.”
  • Procurement: Entities would have improved relevant performance measures, such as reducing “average procurement processing times,” publishing “financial and procurement processes and documents on various media sources,” or improving “transparency and reduced transaction costs (e.g., time) for public procurement.”
  • Financial stability: Entities would have improved relevant performance measures, such as finance sector’s vulnerability to shocks, soundness, and funding methods, the degree of adherence to international principles, e.g., Basel Core Principles, and the quality of risk management and supervision.
  • Legal and judicial systems: Entities would have improved performance measures, such as improved legal and regulatory framework, predictable legal environment, effective enforcement of laws and contracts, independent, impartial and competent judges, increased access to justice, reduced backlog of cases in courts, availability of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, increased public confidence.
  • Other public and private services that are delivered through public and private entities, state-owned enterprises, and public–private partnerships (PPPs).

Public and quasi-public services need to be delivered with integrity, centered around citizens, and responsive to their needs, particularly the needs of the most vulnerable. Promoting greater transparency and enabling ordinary citizens to assess the quality, adequacy, and effectiveness of basic services, to voice their needs and preferences and to become involved in innovation offers an opportunity to enable better use of public funds and improve service delivery.

Other notes:

For purposes of this indicator, only those entities which have substantially achieved (at least 90% of target) a relevant outcome indicator in the DMF which measures improvement based on sector-specific standards are counted.

Where cases of double-counting can be identified, the same entities benefiting from improvements in more than one area under different ADB projects will only be counted once.
