Karin Schelzig’s Expertise I am a poverty and social protection specialist with 25 years of multidisciplinary human and social development experience in East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific, including 20 years with the Asian Development Bank. I manage a regional team that in 2023 designed and delivered more than 2.4 billion in new education, health, and social protection financing. I look after a portfolio of ongoing human and social development operations and policy dialogue in 22 countries. Our programming ranges from support for primary health care in Indonesia to improving upper secondary education in Cambodia and introducing community-based aged care in Tonga. All projects are designed with a climate and gender lens. In my previous role as a principal social sector specialist and team leader I led policy dialogue, research, and loan and grant project design and implementation in the areas of social assistance and cash transfers, poverty analysis and poverty targeting systems, the graduation approach and economic inclusion, early childhood and basic education, technical and vocational education and training, community-driven development, and healthy and age-friendly urban development. I have had long-term field assignments with ADB in Cambodia (2008-2014), China (2019-2022), the Philippines (2004-2008, 2014-2019, 2023-present), and with Development Alternatives, Inc. in Ukraine (2000-2002), and have extensive work experience in Indonesia, the Lao PDR, Mongolia, and Viet Nam, among others. I hold a Ph.D. in Development Studies from the London School of Economics (1999).
