Asian Development Bank Projects

Our Goals

CoRE and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) have teamed up to strengthen the regulatory systems in the Asia-Pacific region, specifically the low-resourced developing member countries (DMCs).

The overarching goal of this collaboration is to enable access to safe, efficacious and quality health products, through a range of scientific and regulatory activities. This is deployed across the entire product life cycle, including manufacturing and surveillance of therapeutic products for malaria and other communicable disease threats.

Through this collaboration, CoRE aims to build on the work by
the World Health Organization (WHO) and other partners to strengthen the capacity and capabilities of regulatory agencies in the Asia-Pacific region.
