Series: Data Room: Safeguard Policy Review and Update
Written Feedback from Stakeholders
12 April 2021

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) initiated an update of its 2009 Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) in August 2020 following a corporate evaluation by ADB’s Independent Evaluation Department last May 2020. The ongoing update seeks to modernize the policy in consideration of the changing development context, evolving needs and capacities of developing member countries and clients, and opportunities for greater harmonization with the policies of other multilateral financial institutions.

These documented feedback were collected during the Phase 1 Consultations of ADB’s Safeguard Policy Review and Update.
