Watch this space. This is a new section of the website and is currently in draft form. The World Bank Group Infrastructure Finance Learning program is working closely working with universities, development partners and governments to continuously share lessons learned and real-world examples.

A public-private partnership (PPP) project typically involves financing from multiple sources, combining equity from the project company's shareholders with debt from banks or other financial instruments such as bonds.

This section offers an introductory overview of project financing, though it is not intended to serve as a comprehensive guide. It highlights mechanisms such as guarantees, including political risk insurance and credit enhancement, to support investors and lenders in mitigating risks and facilitating investment.

It also provides valuable resources on Asset Recycling and Innovative Revenues, including the Municipal PPP Framework, which features over 100 project summaries. These examples are designed to inspire local decision-makers with creative, scalable PPP opportunities that help towns and cities improve services and deliver infrastructure projects effectively. 

Additionally, the World Bank's Emission Reduction Program (ERP), aims to support developing countries in strategically engaging with the evolving global Emission Reduction Credit (ERC) markets. It helps these countries generate ERCs for sale in global markets and mobilize financing for such transactions.
