The ”Multilateralverse”: What Multilateral firms do for development, and how you can join them.

Clean energy is coming to Asia. But who is going to get it there? Multilateral development agencies like the Asian Development Bank are sometimes overlooked, or not well understood as important players by development scholars. But big ideas, big projects, and big dollars are involved in taking on ambitious development work. To get a sense of how the Asian Development Bank rolls, we're joined by Sam Tumiwa to learn about adaptation financing, and what it is like working within a multilateral agency.

Mr. Tumiwa is the Asian Development Bank's representative to North America, where he works with the Canadian and United States governments and their agencies, bilateral and multilateral institutions, research and civil society organizations and the private sector, to increase understanding strengthen collaboration and of ADB’s work. He was previously the Deputy Representative from 2011 to 2016.
