ADB’s LPR Program is comprised of lawyers and other professionals with expertise, operational experience, and long-term relationships with legal and judicial stakeholders.
The program is supported by a dedicated team that provides advisory, coordination, and support services. We work together with other ADB teams and development partners to support inclusive and sustainable development across developing member countries.
"Under the LPR Program, our lawyers design, process, and implement technical assistance in areas relating to legal and judicial reforms. Through targeted interventions that address the specific needs of each country we serve, we have made huge strides over the years to reduce inequities, strengthen institutions, spur economic activity, and foster inclusive and sustainable growth across Asia and the Pacific."
