Development Partners' Meeting  

The Development Partners’ Meeting serves as a forum for discussions among GMS senior officials, representatives of development partners, private sector, and civil society that are actively involved in the GMS Program. Development partners play a key role in implementing the GMS Program’s initiatives. From the launch of the program in 1992 until 2020, ADB, GMS governments and multilateral and bilateral development partners have jointly co-financed $27.7 billion for over 100 investment projects supporting regional cooperation and integration in the GMS. Of this amount, development partners, not including ADB, contributed about one third, or $9.1 billion.
