This study assesses ADB's support for promoting good governance in Pacific developing member countries (DMCs) from 2000 to 2010. It is an input to the forthcoming evaluation of the Pacific Approach 2010-2014 and provides lessons and recommendations for the next Pacific strategy. ADB support for governance is included in operations for public sector management (PSM) as well as assistance for other sectors that have governance as a thematic classification. The evaluation covers grants, loans, and technical assistance (TA) projects classified under PSM from 2000 to 2010 and governance-related components of a non-PSM subsector where ADB is most active in the Pacific region. The roads subsector was selected as a case study as it is one of the priority subsectors in the Pacific DMCs and it draws from the Pacific region sector assistance program evaluation on transport.
