ADB–Gates Foundation Learning Week 1 to 4 December 2020 The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) held its first ADB and Gates Foundation Learning Week on the first week of December 2020 online. This was a four-day interactive discussion on the Sanitation Financing Partnership Trust Fund – which BMGF supports – and an opportunity for ADB project officers to convene with BMGF counterparts to dive deep into ADB sanitation projects, citywide inclusive sanitation (CWIS) principles, and progress on CWIS investments. The Learning Week also focused on challenges related to carrying out new technologies, financing models, and accompanying institutional changes, and the upcoming CWIS guidelines.
