APMDD Statement on the 54th Annual Meeting of the Asian Development Bank

At this 54th annual meeting of the Board of Governors of the Asian Development Bank, we challenge the leadership and staff of the ADB to reflect seriously on its legacy. For more than five decades, the ADB has left a trail of projects that have met strong and persistent resistance from citizens’ groups and peoples movements in many countries across the region. These projects have led to the displacement of communities and brought harm to health, livelihoods and environment.
