Infrastructure
The international unit of IUK, and previously PUK, in collaboration with various multilateral organisations, has produced the following publications:
The purpose of this guide, developed with the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF), is to enhance the chances of effective partnerships being developed between the public and the private sector by addressing one of the main obstacles to effective PPP project delivery: having the right information on the right projects for the right partners at the right time. The guide explains how the public sector should interact with the private sector during the project selection and preparation phases to ensure that decisions during these phases are realistic and analyzes the issues of engagement with the private sector during the tender phase and after a contract has been signed.
As growth and development in Africa increase rapidly, investment in infrastructure projects may require the use of PPPs. This Project Preparation Guide, which was developed with the Infrastructure Consortium for Africa (ICA) and PPIAF, offers the foundation blocks for public sector engagement with the private sector, assessing the relevant issues for selecting a PPP project, the requirements for preparing projects for the market, and the management process.
PPP Solutions is a new series of practitioner focused notes sponsored by the World Bank Institute’s PPP Practice (WBIPP) and the World Bank Group’s Global Expert Team on PPPs (GETPPP). PPP Solutions provides practical analysis and descriptions of new or emerging approaches in finance, regulation, legal and market structuring, contract and transaction design, policy frameworks, and environmental and institutional sustainability of PPPs. This first issue features the creation of the UK Treasury Infrastructure Finance Unit.
