ODI is the UK's leading independent think-tank on international development. The institute works to optimise the development performance of corporate investments, and is now home to the case-study and training materials developed through the World Bank's Business Partners for Development (BPD) programme. In this context the PBAS Scheme draws on:
- the partnership brokering tools developed through the $3million BPD programme with the Extractive Industries Sector: a programme that engaged Shell, BP, Anglo American and Rio Tinto alongside the World Bank, UK DFID and CARE International in brokering partnerships in the developing world;
- lessons from the parallel BPD programme in the Water and Sanitation Sector, with its focus on the division of roles between regulators, investors, concessionaires, contractors, NGOs and communities;
- good practices in partnering within the Information and Telecommunications Sector and the Construction and Services Industry developed by ODI in collaboration with others.

IBLF works with more than 60 major multinational and national companies, and is active in more than 50 emerging and transition economies. IBLF is internationally recognised for its pioneering work on cross-sector partnerships. The PBAS Scheme draws on:

- leading-edge partnership training initiatives developed in collaboration with The World Bank and the United Nations; a range of partnership-building materials developed for international distribution - notably The Guiding Hand: Brokering Partnerships for Sustainable Development published by UN publications; and
