This report presents nine case studies on poverty reduction projects financed by ADB in Mongolia, Nepal, the People's Republic of China, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Uzbekistan, and Viet Nam.

The case studies highlight effective approaches to poverty reduction by (i) providing broader access to economic opportunities; (ii) promoting resilience, and (iii) empowering communities through improved governance. Stories about experiences gained from the successful implementation of projects serve as examples of how to develop and adopt better policies and practices toward eradicating poverty.
