ADB gamechanger?

The word gamechanger appears everywhere these days. Even when the phenomenon is not a game changer.

This ADB publication on game changers begins with a bang: "This is ADB’s first health project in Myanmar and the first health project by any organization in Myanmar specifically focused on the border areas and economic corridors." This is simply untrue. There are several local nongovernmental organisations and international nongovernmental organisations with health projects in border areas.

The ten million dollar project appears to have stalled. http://adb.org/projects/details?page=financing&proj_id=46490-001

The rest of the document is mostly an informercial.
