Abstract

This publication records the proceedings of the Country Safeguard Systems (CSS) Regional Workshop on April 2012 at the ADB headquarters. Discussions focused on the evolution, current status, and future directions of CSS, and the CSS partnership between developing member countries (DMCs) and development partners. Participants from 15 DMCs and 10 multilateral and bilateral agencies discussed the significant convergence of CSS with international best practice achieved in the past 2 decades, particularly environmental assessment and involuntary resettlement practices, and remaining challenges, including filling gaps in legal frameworks, building implementation capacity, and ensuring stakeholder engagement. DMCs expressed their desire to further strengthen CSS through policy dialogue, technical assistance, and South–South cooperation. Representatives of ADB, the Australian Agency for International Development, Japan International Cooperation Agency, and the World Bank confirmed their readiness to collaborate in providing assistance to advance CSS.
