Abstract
A growing number of developing
country governments are interested in using public-private
partnerships (PPPs) to provide public infrastructure assets
and services. The PPP reference guide seeks to provide
advice on what PPP practitioners should know, rather than
provide advice on what to do. The guide sets out the main
topics, looks at the key issues that must be addressed, and
provides what one consider the most important references
that PPP practitioners can turn to for answers and to
enhance one knowledge and understanding. It is structured
into separate sections that focus on three main areas,
firstly what are PPPs, when may they be used and the
advantages and disadvantages relative to public provision;
secondly the policy, legal, and institutional frameworks
that should be put into place to help improve effectiveness;
and finally the ways in which PPP projects can be developed
and implemented. It introduces key topics on PPP, sets out
options, and directs readers to examples, and key references
where one can find out more. This guide provides new
resources and updated examples.
