The Asia Pacific Project Preparation Facility (AP3F)’s primary objective is to assist developing member country (DMC) governments and their public sector agencies prepare and structure infrastructure projects with private sector participation, including privatization through to public–private partnership (PPP) modalities, and bring them to the global market. AP3F can also provide: capacity-related assistance, including for the reform and improvement of policy, legislative, regulatory and institutional practices in DMCs; and ongoing project performance assistance, including project monitoring and project restructuring.
Applications for the support for the preparation of infrastructure projects will be prioritized based on the following priorities:
- climate resilience, sustainability and impact on poverty reduction;
- enhancement of regional connectivity and regional economic integration;
- new investments;
- projects identified as priorities by DMC;
- international practices in governance, procurement and contracting;
- first in kind projects; and
- viability.
All ADB Developing Member Countries' central and local governments, government agencies (including sub-sovereign and government-owned entities), are eligible to receive AP3F support.
