Source is a collaborative effort with involvement from the African Development Bank, Asian Development Bank, Brazilian Development Bank, Development Bank of Southern Africa, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Inter-American Development Bank, Islamic Development Bank, and the World Bank Group. The Public-Private-Partnership Legal Resource Center (PPPLRC) provides easy access to an array of sample legal materials which can assist in the planning, design and legal structuring of any infrastructure project — especially a project which involves a public-private partnership. This website is an initiative of the World Bank with funding support from the World Bank, the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility, the African Legal Support Facility, and the Inter-American Development Bank's Multilateral Investment Fund. The PPP Reference Guide presents a global overview of the diversity of approaches and experiences in the implementation of public-private partnerships, providing an entry point to the substantial body of knowledge on PPPs that has been built up by practitioners in governments, the private sector, international institutions, and academic. The PPP Reference Guide Version 3 was released in 2017 and was a joint product of the: Asian Development Bank (ADB), European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Global Infrastructure Hub, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), and the World Bank Group. The Public-Private Partnerships Fiscal Risk Assessment Model (PFRAM) is an analytical tool to assist governments and country analysts in assessing potential fiscal costs and risks arising from a PPP project. PFRAM supports the dialogue of the IMF and the World Bank Group with their client countries on macroeconomic stability, debt sustainability, fiscal risk management, governance, public finance management and public investment management. PFRAM follows a five step decision-tree, automatically generating a set of outcomes: the expected cash flow for the private partner; the government’s income statement, balance sheet and cash statement; a series of charts comparing fiscal balance and DSA with/without the specific PPP project; a project risk matrix; and a sensitivity analysis of macro variables. PFRAM requires project-specific data and country specific macroeconomic data, allowing the user to work under different assumptions. Thus, the fiscal outcomes are indicative and sensitive to these assumptions. Building on experience gathered from developers and users, the new version PFRAM 2.0 improves the user interface making it easier to understand by non-PPP experts and extends the tool’s coverage and functionalities. See Guidance Note for the Public-Private Partnerships Fiscal Risk Assessment Model (PFRAM) 2.0 and French version, Public-Private Partnerships Fiscal Risk Assessment Model (PFRAM): French Version 2.0. The Global Infrastructure Facility (GIF) is a global open platform that facilitates the preparation and structuring of complex infrastructure public-private partnerships to enable mobilization of private sector and institutional investor capital. The GIF platform coordinates and integrates the efforts of MDBs, private sector investors and financiers, and governments interested in infrastructure investment in Emerging Markets and Developing Economies—fostering collaboration and collective action on complex projects that no single institution could achieve alone. The multilateral development banks have created project preparation facilities (PPFs) to improve the quality of project development, while also strengthening the local capacity needed to ensure lasting results. The PPFs work to promote regional policy dialogue on infrastructure challenges; to catalyze access to public and private finance sources; and support sustainable infrastructure projects, in particular public-private partnerships. The various PPFs that have been launched can act as a model for public officials in emerging markets to emulate MDB Infrastructure Investment Project Briefs - This series showcases how the MDBs have come together to support the development and implementation of public-private partnerships. This support comes in the form of public sector loans, private sector finance, sector and transaction advice, guarantees, and output-based aid. The Private Participation in Infrastructure Projects Database is a joint product of the World Bank Group and the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility, which seeks to identify and disseminate information on private participation in infrastructure projects in low- and middle-income countries. The database highlights the contractual arrangements used to attract private investment, the sources and destination of investment flows, and information on the main investors. The data can be filtered by projects that include MDB support. See more knowledge sharing on the Events and Conference page. Training on Public-Private Partnership
