ADB's Footprint in South Asia
Boy Nuera, NGO Forum on ADB
March 2006

For the last three decades, the heavy presence of the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and Asian Development Bank is contested by the civil society. These global and regional entities have become the “family doctors” of these countries. Sadly, the “diagnoses” and the corresponding “prescriptions have resulted in heavily-indebted “patients”, especially after the introduction of open economic policies.

This guidebook is intended to assist civil society groups and community leaders to understand ADB’s involvement in their respective countries and in the region and sharpen their advocacies towards better accountability social justice, and governance.

The Asian Development Bank and Dams
Arturo Nuera, NGO Forum on ADB,
November 2005

This guidebook serves as a shuttle to readers from basic understanding about dams, its different purposes, its contribution to development, its impacts to the environment and people. However, the heart of this guidebook are the World Commission on Dams (WCD) findings and its recommended decision-making framework for future dam-building as an alternative to “balance-sheet” approach to dam-building. Equally important is the ADB’s role in dam-building and the its response to WCD’s recommended framework. This publication also provides other options and alternatives to dams.

Mekong in Danger: ADB's Involvement in the Greater Mekong Subregion
Arturo Nuera, NGO Forum on ADB
March 2005

The zenith of all regional economic cooperation was the establishment of the World Trade Organization during the 1994 Marakkesh Round that set the rules for international trade and investments. Like kids, countries scrambled into this game with a new card they wanted to play: free trade. They organized themselves into regional and subregional groupings.

On the surface were the national leaders casting their hopes for progress on economic cooperation. Underneath were the International Financial Institutions (IFIs) providing money and technical assistance to these regional and subregional coalitions. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) was the leading IFI in engineering regional and subregional economic cooperation among countries in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) consisting of Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam and the Yunan Province of China.

Indigenous Peoples and the ADB
Ronald Masayda and Sameer Dossani, NGO Forum on ADB
June 2004

In general , Indigenous Peoples or IPs are a category of persons whose lives and livelihoods are threatened by state and corporate “globalist” expansionism. There are many such categories of people under threat, but IPs are unique both in their distinctive claims to land and to governance and production systems that predate modern states and economies. Indigenous cultures may be distinguished by unique relationships to ancestral environments; nevertheless, these cultures demonstrate certain universal characteristics that identify them unmistakably as indigenous. more

     

     

ADB's Private Sector Development Strategy (PSDS)--Private Sector as the Engine of Growth
Violeta Q. Perez-Corral, NGO Forum on ADB
April 2001 (Volume 1, No.2)

One of the major principles of the ADB's "overarching goal"-poverty reduction- is the identification of the private sector as its major engine of growth. The Bank operates on the framework that economic growth is a major factor in reducing poverty and achieving this would entail the pursuit of the development of the private sector. In 2000, the Bank launched its "Private Sector Development Strategy" which mandates Bank staff to "think private sector" in its public sector operations, and to "think development impact" in its private sector operations. Experience show that privatized state-owned enterprises (SOEs), under ADB's program loans have created various negative impacts to society. With this, civil society is left to articulate on effectiveness of the strategy in reducing poverty in the region and its impact to communities. more

     

     

ADB and Japan
Tomoyo Saito and Kyoko Ishida. Japan Center for Sustainable Environment and Society (JACSES)
April 2001 (Volume 1, No.1)

It has always been said that the ADB has is a Japanese-led institution since its establishment. Although a number of Bank staff tend not to accept this view, it cannot be denied that the ADB is much dominated by Japan in terms of the staffing as well as financial contributions relative to other member countries. Judging from past experiences, ADB's institutional culture seems different from other institutions like the World Bank, which means that we are able to see the implications in various parts of the ADB's operations from "Asian" or "Japanese" perspectives. In challenging the Bank, a keen knowledge of its institutional culture contributes to evolving our campaign strategies. more
