Asian Development Bank
Single Delegate
Founded in 1966 and headquartered in Manila, the Asian Development Bank is a regional multilateral development institution dedicated to promoting economic growth, reducing poverty, and fostering cooperation across the Asia-Pacific region. With 68 member states drawn from both within and beyond the region, the ADB finances infrastructure projects, supports policy reform, provides technical assistance, and mobilizes private capital across some of the world's most dynamic and most vulnerable economies. The Bank operates at the intersection of development finance and geopolitics, balancing the competing priorities of donor nations, borrowing states, and an increasingly complex regional landscape shaped by climate change, rapid urbanization, and great-power rivalry. Its work spans energy, transportation, health, education, and disaster resilience, making it one of the most consequential institutions shaping the long-term trajectory of the Asia-Pacific.
Topic A: The ADB’s role in ethnic persecution, cultural erasure, and genocide

Dear delegates,
Hello everyone! My name is Tika, and I’m a sophomore studying International Relations and minoring in Human Rights. I’m from Long Beach, California, and have loved MUN since high school. This is my first year participating in SMUNC, and I have loved my experience in LAMUN.
My favorite part of MUN has been analyzing global policy in a multifaceted way, researching countries, and making new friends! Outside of MUN, I love playing intramural volleyball, hiking with my dog, traveling, and learning new languages. I’m so excited to be part of your SMUNC XXX experience and help facilitate a formative committee.
