Abstract: In 2015, the international community agreed on ambitious new Sustainable Development Goals and adopted the Paris agreement to fight the effects of global climate change. Ending poverty without further exacerbating climate change will only be possible if the private sector takes a leading role in supporting green economic growth and creating quality jobs. Private capital and expertise will be needed to address poverty in all its dimensions—from food security through the effective and efficient delivery of social services and infrastructure. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) strongly recognizes this salient role of the private sector in meeting the development challenges in Asia and the Pacific. Through its Private Sector Operations Department, it provides various forms of assistance to the private sector in order to help address these development challenges. This sixth annual report on the development effectiveness of ADB’s private sector operations reviews the contributions of ADB’s Private Sector Operations Department during 2014 and 2015 to promoting its development effectiveness agenda.
