The bank also invests significantly in capacity development and governance; private sector development; environmental protection, climate change mitigation, and disaster risk management; regional cooperation; and gender equality.

ADB is working closely with the government to enhance the technical and institutional capacities of government agencies, develop projects that promote environmental sustainability, and improve the country’s business and regulatory environment to attract more private investment and increase labor-market productivity.

The bank is also integrating into its Myanmar operations specific approaches that help deliver effective support to conflict-affected areas.
