Capacity Building and Training Program

ADBI's capacity building and training (CBT) program is designed to promote effective development planning and management by senior and mid-level officials of ADB developing member countries (DMCs).

In particular, the CBT program attempts to: (i) enhance the awareness and understanding of DMC government officials on important development policy issues, (ii) introduce appropriate policy proposals or measures to address these issues, (iii) share good and effective practices and country experiences in implementing these policies and measures, and (iv) provide a venue for dialogue and communication among DMC officials.

The ADBI CBT program has three main formats:

• policy dialogue
• course-based training
• e-learning

The capacity building needs of DMCs are identified through an annual needs survey conducted every July.
