DESCRIPTION:Summary\nMany developing economies across Asia and the Pacific
  have made significant progress in reducing poverty and achieving sustaine
 d economic growth\, yet many continue to face persistent challenges relate
 d to multidimensional poverty\, inequality\, demographic change\, unequal 
 access to quality education and healthcare\, and gaps in social protection
 . As countries strive to transition from middle- to high-income status\, t
 here is growing recognition that economic growth alone is insufficient wit
 hout policies that ensure its benefits are broadly shared and resilience i
 s strengthened. At the same time\, rapid advances in artificial intelligen
 ce (AI) and digital transformation are reshaping labor markets\, public se
 rvice delivery\, and access to economic opportunities\, creating both new 
 opportunities and risks for inclusive development.\nThis ADBI-ESCAP policy
  dialogue is organized under the Quality Inclusive Development pillar (pil
 lar 4) of ADBI's flagship program\, Shaping Asia's Future Prosperity with
  Quality Growth. It will bring together leading think tanks\, policymakers
 \, international organizations\, and development partners to examine the k
 ey drivers of quality and inclusive development.\nThrough country case stu
 dies\, expert presentations\, and panel discussions\, participants will ex
 change evidence-based policy experiences\, identify common challenges and 
 successful reform strategies\, and explore practical approaches to strengt
 hening human capital\, social protection\, reducing multidimensional pover
 ty\, and support countries toward achieving high-income\, inclusive\, and 
 resilient development.\nObjectives\n\nPresent country case studies and res
 earch on pathways to achieving quality and inclusive development\nIdentify
  the key drivers\, policy challenges\, and successful strategies for reduc
 ing poverty\, inequality\, and strengthening human capital and social prot
 ection\nFacilitate cross-country learning by comparing country experiences
