Practical Responses to Real Problems

This publication presents eight case studies of recent ADB projects that highlight innovative interventions and effective approaches to reduce poverty.



The case studies include projects in Bangladesh, the Cook Islands, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, and the People's Republic of China. Together they focus on four themes: ensuring equality and inclusion, caring for the environment, securing food for all, and sustaining prosperity through access to finance. The publication builds on the first volume of poverty reduction case studies published in 2019.
