Note from the Editor

Knowledge that is available but not summarized might just as well be lost. A concise, well-written summary and its calibrated dissemination allow readers to easily gain information and understanding.

The Knowledge Showcase series (i) captures, stores, and shares highlights of innovative ideas from ADB’s technical assistance and other knowledge products; (ii) presents the “essence of the solution” to problems and challenges encountered, emphasizing the tools, methods, and approaches used; (iii) refers readers to other sources to deepen understanding; and (iv) seeks to foster discussion and research, perhaps even encourage replication.

However, the value of a publication is not decided by its author but by its readers. Enhancing outreach effectiveness requires also that the ideas the Knowledge Showcases contain be circulated in ways that empower their audiences to present different perspectives and insights and let other voices be heard.
