The program framework has proven successful in enabling the use of a flexible medium term framework that promotes ownership by the government, as was evident in the Development Policy Support Program (DPSP) series. In addition, the medium-term framework allows changing government priorities to be successfully incorporated, as occurred under DPSP-6. The medium-term framework also promotes a continuous dialogue with the government on reform, thereby contributing to government ownership and allowing a program to efficiently respond to new or increased economic risks and shifts in government policy priorities. The continuing policy dialogue also allowed ADB to effectively respond and exit the DPSP series in a timely manner at the conclusion of DPSP-6.
