Designed for Impact: Collaborative, Custom, and Scalable
A new generation of collaborative, results-driven initiatives designed to help countries address specific development challenges by learning, adapting, and scaling proven solutions.
The Project Preparation Impact Program
Designed to unlock infrastructure investment pipelines by strengthening the national foundations of project preparation.
Well-functioning national project preparation facilities that unlock infrastructure investment pipelines play a key role in mobilizing private capital in infrastructure, while creating direct and indirect jobs. The Project Preparation Impact Program will provide governments with structured access to the resources, know-how, and tools they need to strengthen national systems and carry out the essential midstream project preparation steps. The immersive knowledge exchange and learning experiences designed to catalyze and accelerate pipelines of bankable infrastructure projects, and sharing of best practice expertise and peer to peer learning will support participating governments implement dedicated national infrastructure project preparation facilities.
By systematically building national capacity, anchoring global resources in country-led facilities, and fostering peer exchange, the Impact Program will not only close gaps in individual countries but also raise the overall efficiency and coherence of the global project preparation ecosystem—beginning where it matters most, at the national level.
Our Impact Approach
Experiential and applied
Learning will be practical, with a focus on exploring how global knowledge can be applied to the local context.
Peer-driven and collaborative
Peer-to-peer engagement via local and global Communities of Practice.
Impactful
Designed to co-create country owned action plans to establish enabling ecosystems that accelerate preparation of bankable infrastructure investment pipelines.
Strategic Areas
Impact Program
The Impact Program is designed to improve project preparation efficiency with an aim to build stronger country pipelines, that are moving towards market readiness. Through collaboration decision makers and technical staff from member countries co-create country-owned Action Plans. These Action Plans will aim to catalyze resources, strengthen enabling ecosystems, foster ecosystem coordination and embed best practices in project preparation. The program will be grounded in peer-to-peer learning and supported by global and local knowledge partners. Events and activities will be both in-person and in a virtual Community of Practice. The Impact Program builds on the World Bank Group’s operational experience in supporting client countries to design and operationalize Project Preparation Facilities.
Practitioner Program
The Practitioner Program is demand-driven and tailored to the specific needs of each cohort. It focuses on building core competencies and financial skills to support the implementation of efficient and effective project preparation, through structured, hands-on training. The training is complemented by real-world case studies, tools, learning simulations and practitioner interviews, all supported by generative AI driven tools.
The program uses a series of self-paced e-learning, instructor-led webinars, hybrid training, and immersive workshops. Content is tailored to different regions and sectors ensuring both accessibility and contextual relevance.
Knowledge and Community Platform
The Communities of Practice
Chat PPP is a members-only space designed for government officials to share insights, discuss issues and build partnerships.
The knowledge platform
PPP Resource Center is a dynamic and continuously updated knowledge platform that supports ongoing learning, enables scale, and ensures access to relevant, actionable knowledge.
Designed to meet the evolving needs of our users PPP Resource Center offers more than just written resources. The platform includes interactive, online and distance learning opportunities, enhanced by AI tools that improve accessibility and tailor content to individual needs. The platform features case studies, sample agreements, PowerPoint based learning modules, video presentations and short explainer clips, all curated to make complex topics easier to understand, apply and share.
