This book details the evolution of the Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction (JFPR) and shows how it worked with ADB to fund myriad projects designed to improve lives and livelihoods in the Asia and Pacific region over 2 decades. It highlights how JFPR has exceeded $1 billion in project approvals and set up 520 projects across developing member countries ranging from healthcare schemes in Myanmar to small business programs in Bhutan. It explores its critical role during crises such as the Indian Ocean tsunami and COVID-19 and shows how it plans to continue cutting poverty to build resilient communities.
