Development Effectiveness Report 2014-2015 Asian Development Bank

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 efficient delivery of social services and infrastructure. ADB recognizes this salient role of the private sector in meeting development challenges in Asia and the Pacific. This sixth annual report reviews the contributions of ADB's Private Sector Operations Department in 2014 and 2015 to promoting its development effectiveness agenda.
