Regional: Developing Public-Private Partnership Projects in Digital Transformation

Sovereign Project | 56242-001

The transaction TA facility will support the development of digital transformations, i.e., the process of using digital technologies to create new or enhance existing business processes, culture, and customer experiences to accommodate evolving business and market requirements._This TA is intended to catalyze increased digital transformations in infrastructure across ADB's developing member countries (DMCs) through private sector's involvement in delivering sustainable infrastructure and services._Digital transformation inherently requires private sector participation for increased efficiency and ability to respond quickly to changing digital needs and to innovate._Digital transformation could be applied across multiple sectors such as transport, energy, education, urban and wastewater, health and social sector._Some examples of digital technology-based projects and services are information-communication technology infrastructure, automated fare collection systems across integrated multi-modal urban transp

Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy

For the new areas in which increased private sector participation is anticipated and encouraged, OPPP is best positioned to conduct the upstream work to prepare and originate the related projects by collaborating with regional departments, resident missions and Private Sector Operations Department (PSOD) in creating a cross-disciplinary expertise One ADB Team and act as One ADB Advisor to the DMC clients._The TRTA will enable OPPP to provide capacity building and transaction advisory services (TAS) to DMC clients._The TAS will be supported by international and national subject matter experts in areas such as digital technology, technical, commercial, legal, and PPP procurement._The scope of OPPP's work will cover pipeline identification, ideation and project definition, project preparation and structuring, procurement and negotiations leading to commercial and/or financial closure._Since digital transformation is an irreversible trend and the demand for related projects is likely to increase, the outputs will focus on support needed by the DMCs to develop bankable and sustainable digital transformation PPP projects with proven technologies that have high potential for scalability and replicability._

Project Data Sheets (PDS) contain summary information on the project or program. Because the PDS is a work in progress, some information may not be included in its initial version but will be added as it becomes available. Information about proposed projects is tentative and indicative.

The Access to Information Policy (AIP) recognizes that transparency and accountability are essential to development effectiveness. It establishes the disclosure requirements for documents and information ADB produces or requires to be produced.

The Accountability Mechanism provides a forum where people adversely affected by ADB-assisted projects can voice and seek solutions to their problems and report alleged noncompliance of ADB's operational policies and procedures.
