ADB Data Room: Public Sector Management and Governance The Asian Development Bank (ADB) plays a pivotal role in strengthening public management (PSM), governance, and macro-fiscal frameworks across Asia and the Pacific. Its work is anchored in the belief that effective PSM and governance are essential for inclusive, resilient, and sustainable development. ADB’s approach is both strategic and adaptive, responding to the diverse needs of developing member countries (DMCs) through policy support, institutional reform, and capacity development. This data room contains the schedule of upcoming knowledge events and serves as a repository for information on past events and other published knowledge.
