Success of World Bank operations often depend on how well they can engage and mobilize stakeholders to support reforms, policies, and the effective implementation of projects. For years, coalition building has been the centerpiece of some of The Asia Foundation¡¯s most successful development initiatives and the achievement of milestone policy reforms. In 2023, the Foundation sought to elevate interest and debate on this experience through its publication , which examined examples from Bangladesh, Nepal, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Timor-Leste. The paper sheds light on the coalition-building modality, sharing insights on how coalitions emerge and function and how the approach can be adapted for application in other contexts.
