The CSP is organized and delivered in cooperation with key civil society organizations (CSOs) and NGOs in Asia and the Pacific. The CSP includes events called; Learning with Partners (LwP), which aim to provide opportunities for CSOs to share innovative solutions, insights, and experiences on key development themes, showcasing the key role of civil society in development.

The theme of the upcoming Annual Meeting is, “Linking People and Economies for Inclusive Development”. The ADB is launching a call for session proposals for the LwP at the Annual Meeting.
