Benchmarking Public-Private Partnerships Procurement 2017

Many economies are yet to adopt broadly recognized good practices to prepare, procure, and manage Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). This report flags potential improvements that can help governments fill the gap to provide better PPP procurement and enable better infrastructure service delivery to all.

Public-private partnership (PPP) projects are gaining momentum globally as a means for delivering infrastructure. Government capabilities to prepare, procure and manage such projects are important to ensure that the expected efficiency gains are achieved.
