Over the period 2002-2007, there has been strong growth in Private Sector Operation’s infrastructure-related public private partnerships (PPP) commitments, with annual approval rates increasing by almost 400%. The rapid growth in demand for PPP finance in the Asian region, coupled with the growing importance of PPPs within ADB’s operations, indicated it is an opportune time to evaluate these activities.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of ADB’s PPP-related operations and identify issues and lessons to find ways in which ADB’s contribution to support Private Sector Development through the use of PPP instruments can be enhanced.
