    Event preview: This week in development cooperation

    Several important international celebrations happen this week, including the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, when the Asian Development Bank is set to host a live online chat on how the post-2015 development agenda should be crafted so Asia and the Pacific can become a region that is free of poverty.
