| Description | The knowledge and support technical assistance (TA) will provide selected developing member countries (DMCs) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) with policy advice, capacity building, and knowledge resources to create the legal and policy environment for private sector investment and public-private partnership (PPP) projects. The TA will build on and supplement other ADB initiatives to foster PPP-enabling reforms and promote private sector participation, and deliver targeted assistance, as identified in consultation with ADB departments and offices as well as government and court authorities. The TA is aligned with ADB's Strategy 2030 and the goal of expanding private sector operations. This includes scaling up assistance for PPPs to support ADB's seven operational priorities and also underpins the planning directions for 2021--building the capacity of DMCs for implementing PPPs, and strengthening the enabling environment for PPPs in coordination with the regional departments, the Private Sector Operations Department (PSOD), and the PPP Thematic Group Secretariat. The TA will also support (i) the Operational Plan for Private Sector Operations: 2019-2024; and (ii) the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 9 (industry, innovation, and infrastructure); 16 (peace, justice, and strong institutions); and 17 (partnerships for the goals). |

| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The private sector has contributed significantly to economic growth in the Asia and Pacific region, generating jobs, tax revenues, and many innovations that improve efficiency and productivity. Private sector resources will also be needed to tackle a regional infrastructure gap of about $1.7 trillion per year. However, to increase private sector investment and bridge that gap, DMCs first need to create or strengthen certain critical building blocks. |
||||||||||||||
| Impact | Private sector investment and operations (including PPPs) in selected DMCs to support ADB's seven operational priorities (Strategy 2030)a and Sustainable Development Goals 9, 16, and 17 increased. |
