The Asian Development Bank (ADB) prepared the Public–Private Partnership Operational Plan 2012–2020 to provide a consistent, analytical, and operational framework for scaling up public–private partnerships (PPPs) in support of Strategy 2020. ADB's PPP operations will be based on four pillars: (i) advocacy and capacity development, (ii) enabling environment, (iii) project development, and (iv) project financing. This study aims to (i) update the 1998–2008 PPP database for program/project, and technical assistance approvals with PPP content for 2009–2010; and (ii) classify ADB assistance for PPPs from 1998 to 2010 based on the four pillars of the plan.

Education is a concern for all, including students, parents, communities, employers,societies, and governments. All stakeholders have a role in providing education services.

This report provides a review of PPP models supported by ADB-financed education sector projects in the past decade. It is part of broader analytical work being conducted by ADB on PPPs in education that will guide education sector operations in the coming years.

It is the result of a collaboration between the Asian Development Bank, the Korea Development Institute, and other experts that supported the theme chapter "Sustaining Development through Public–Private Partnership" of the Asian Development Outlook 2017 Update.
