Description of Project

 

Tasman developed and presented an in-house program on PSDS on capacity building with the aim of increasing the capacity of Bank staff across several levels as part of the ADB’s efforts to provide an enabling environment for private sector development.  The 10 sessions in Manila reviewed private sector participation in Asia -- in infrastructure and the social sectors such as health, agriculture and education.  The workshops also focused on some of the signal experiences in countries where privatization has gone very wrong - such as Russia - and areas such as Victoria, Australia where there has been substantial improvement in service delivery, efficiency, increased investment, increased employment and debt reduction. Issues related to customer focus, regulation and customer accounts - that underpin financing arrangements, were subject to detailed discussion. Risk issues, including currency and domestic finance were analyzed.
