Strategic Direction: Increased Water Security * (Based on Water Operational Plan) * Water security is not just being able to provide sufficient water for households and economic activities, but 2 also includes ensuring healthy ecosystem, and protecting against water-related disasters.

ADB’s Perspective • ADB is focused on inclusive and environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. • ADB expects to ‘ add value ’. Projects need to demonstrate innovation, and are not just about financing • ADB applies a wide range of social and environmental policies to ensure social acceptance and sustainability • Experiences to be shared with other member countries • Contribution to the SDGs

ADB Financing Products • Financial Products: loans, grants, technical assistance, guarantees, and debt management products. • Sovereign lending or financing secured by a government guarantee forms the greater part of ADB’s development assistance. • Operations are financed from ordinary capital resources (OCR) and a range of special funds, including the Asian Development Fund (ADF) • ADB also mobilizes financial resources through co-financing • In 2016, ADB issued $12.26 billion in loan and grant disbursements (OCR, ADF, and other special funds for grants) • Various lending modalities for investment projects available
