STRATEGIC AGENDAS AND DRIVERS OF CHANGE

The strategic agendas and the drivers of change track ADB’s contribution to strategic outcomes identified in ADB’s Strategy 2020. Each of the strategic agendas and drivers of change have components, pillars or categories that enhance ADB’s effectiveness and capacity to attain its goal of Poverty Free Asia and the Pacific. The PCS is harmonized to the extent it is meaningful with ADB’s Strategy 2020 and the New Results Framework.

Classification by strategic agendas and drivers of change is determined by identifying ex-ante expectations of the project outcomes on the basis of the eligibility criteria and as identified in the design and monitoring framework. With the exception of the Inclusive Economic Growth strategic agenda, the initiating division indicates the strategic agendas and drivers of change pertinent to the project by ticking the appropriate agenda and driver. For each project, at least one driver of change is identified. However, any one project can relate to any number of drivers of change and any number of their subcomponents.

Classification of the operations by the three pillars of the Inclusive Economic Growth strategic agenda is automated and carried out in accordance with the ‘filtering’ technique approved in the ADB’s New Results Framework.

A peer review by the relevant community of practice (COP) endorses the selection. Selection of a strategic agenda and driver of change sends an automated message to the secretariat of the relevant COP for undertaking the review and requesting for an endorsement of the selection. The initiating mission receives a copy of this message for information. The mission head is responsible for attaining the endorsement from the peer COP.

Classification by strategic agenda and driver of change does not reflect the total number of projects or volume of ADB’s operations, as a project is conceived capable of contributing concurrently to multiple strategic agendas and drivers of change, as long as the set eligibility criteria are met. Thus, classifications by strategic agendas and drivers of change are not mutually exclusive nor do they reflect ADB’s organizational structure.

STRATEGIC AGENDAS AND DRIVERS OF CHANGE

Strategic Agenda: Inclusive Economic Growth (IEG) Growth is inclusive when it leads to an expansion of opportunities and is accompanied by measures to ensure that the poor and disadvantaged are able to access these opportunities and are not left behind. While ADB’s assistance will be selective and focused in line with its priorities, progress under each of the Pillars is required for growth to be classified inclusive. ① Definition and CriteriaPillar 1: Economic opportunities, including jobs, created and expanded

Project is expected to generate sustainable growth to create and expand economic opportunities, including jobs. Project components that qualify for Pillar 1 include: promoting macroeconomic stability, economic

efficiency, and enabling business environments; economic and financial governance; and infrastructure, finance, public and private sector development.

Pillar 2: Access to economic opportunities, including jobs, made more inclusive

Project is expected to generate broader access to economic opportunities, including jobs, especially for the poor and disadvantaged, to ensure that members of society can participate in and benefit from growth. Project components that qualify for Pillar 2 include basic services, such as: health, education, water supply, sanitation, and other

urban services; small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in finance and microfinance, agriculture, irrigation, and rural development; and investments in gender equity.

Pillar 3: Extreme deprivation prevented and effects of shocks reduced (social protection)

Prevention from extreme deprivation and mitigate effects of social and economic shocks. Projects include: Social assistance. Commonly provided as transfers

(primarily noncontributory schemes) to groups, such as poor individuals and households, who would not qualify for insurance or otherwise not receive adequate benefits. Noncontributory transfer schemes include social transfers, child welfare/allowance, health assistance, assistance to elderly, disability programs and disaster relief, or scholarships in case of education projects. These programs are designed primarily to enhance social welfare by reducing poverty directly. Social insurance. Contributory schemes that mitigate problems/risks by providing income support in the event of illness, unemployment, work injury, maternity, old age, and disability. These include health insurance, pensions, other forms of social insurance such as unemployment

Driver of Change: Gender Equity and Mainstreaming (GEM) Gender equity and mainstreaming projects qualify under four gender mainstreaming categories. Gender equity as a driver of change relates only to projects qualified for Category 1. ADB’s reports on Gender Mainstreaming will include projects qualified for Categories 1 and 2 only.

Definition and Criteria Category 1: Gender equity (GEN)

Includes two kinds of operations: Operations with outcomes that directly address gender equality and/or women’s empowerment by narrowing gender disparities through access to social services (education, health, water supply/sanitation); economic and financial services and opportunities (employment opportunities, financial services, land, markets); basic rural and urban infrastructure (electrification, roads, pro-poor energy distribution, urban services); enhancing voices and rights (decision-making processes and structures, political empowerment, grievance mechanisms) Operations wherein the project design and monitoring framework explicitly mentions gender equality and women’s empowerment and/or the outcome performance indicators include gender indicators.

Operations with this category will comprise of: Gender analysis during project preparation A project gender action (GAP) with gender-inclusive design features and clear gender targets, monitoring indicators, and/or components that directly benefit women or girls Inclusion of a GAP in the linked document of the report and recommendation of the President (RRP) and in the project administration memorandum (PAM) Discussion of how the project will contribute to improving women’s access to or benefits from the project in the main text of the RRP A covenant or a condition in the policy matrix to support implementation of the GAP or gender-design features

Category 2: Effective gender mainstreaming (EGM)

Includes operations that involve effective gender mainstreaming, and in which outputs are designed to directly improve women’s access to social services, economic and financial resources and opportunities, basic rural and urban infrastructure, and/or enhancement of voices and rights that contribute to gender equality and women's empowerment. EGM can be applied to virtually all sectors of ADB’s operations.

Category 3: Some gender elements (SGE)

Includes operations wherein some gender elements are implicit because of the nature of the project. Projects in this category, although not explicitly targeted at gender issues and thus do not meet

58

STRATEGIC AGENDAS AND DRIVERS OF CHANGE

Definition and Criteria

the GEM criteria, are nonetheless likely to improve women's access to social services, economic opportunities, basic rural or urban infrastructure, or enhancement of their voices and rights. Also included in this category are operations that may not directly improve women’s resources or opportunities, but where significant efforts were made during project preparation to identify potential positive and negative impacts on women. Examples include employment of women in project construction work, provision of equal pay for equal work, information campaigns on HIV/AIDS risk, gender training of executing/implementing agencies, and adherence to core labor standards (especially child labor). Another example is an operation where resettlement is involved. In such operations, such as compensation payments to both men and women, joint ownership of replacement land/housing, and restoration of livelihood initiatives, special attention is likely to be paid to women.

Category 4: No gender elements (NGE)

Operations with no gender elements.

Driver of Change: Private Sector Development (PSD) Private sector development has been at the core of the transformation of many Asian economies in recent decades. A vibrant private sector is a critical component for economic growth and sustainable development. Thriving businesses create jobs and incomes, thus reducing poverty and creating opportunities. This cycle works best when growth increases rapidly and when the public sector understands, values, and facilitates private sector activity; when economies establish a sound policy and regulatory environment complemented by the service and physical infrastructure required to enable business to function efficiently; and when investors recognize in a market the certainty, predictability, and confidence needed to make substantial and long-term commitments. ①

Definition and CriteriaConducive policy and institutional environment

All program loans are related to public resource and fiscal management Nonlending activities, policy-based lending, sector loans, and other investment assistance are designed to create an enabling environment for private sector development Policy, regulatory and legal reforms in areas related to delivery of public goods and services are developed and implemented through privatization programs and capacity development All trade and investment in trade is facilitated, including the improvement of customs reform
