Regional : Provision of Knowledge Products and Services to Developing Member Countries through Systematic Knowledge Sharing
Knowledge plays a vital role in driving economic growth and achieving development outcomes. Provision of knowledge products and services (KPS) has been a key part of ADB's development assistance. In 2008, ADB made knowledge solutions one of the drivers of change in Strategy 2020. Subsequently, ADB undertook a number of initiatives to scale up and strengthen its knowledge operations. One of these initiatives is the establishment of the Knowledge Sharing and Services Center (KSSC). Part of KSSC's mandate is to deliver knowledge sharing and support services in ADB and for DMCs by enhancing internal knowledge sharing and developing external knowledge sharing and partnerships.
