Co-hosted by Asian Development Bank (ADB), the ADB Institute, and the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program of the University of Pennsylvania, this summit comprised of panel discussions on best practices and innovative knowledge partnerships. It initiated three to five parallel tripartite discussions with mutually-aligned knowledge partners, developing member country (DMC) officials, and ADB's operations departments on specific development problems in DMCs. A panel of thought leaders also shared succinct views on how international organizations can engage in knowledge partnerships. The event was part of ADB's Knowledge Partnership Week organized by the Knowledge Sharing and Services Center.
