Disruption and PPPs
This is the main Landing Page for Disruption and PPPs in the Public-Private Partnership Resource Center. Disruption is all around us, and the Disruption and PPPs section display the broader context of disruptions that have in recent years increased, and that present unprecedented worldwide challenges, such as climate change, natural disasters, economic crises, disruptive technology and global pandemics such as Covid-19. This creates new challenges and uncertainties for public-private partnership (PPP) projects, and the sections below explore scenarios, frameworks, legislations, articles, tools, and case stories for approaches to designing and delivering resilient infrastructure through PPPs.
-
PPP Contracts in An Age of Disruption - Even though the nature of disruptive events and disruptive technologies differs, useful guidance can be drawn from the global experience of the impact of disruptive events on PPPs; analysis of underlying issues, occurrences, and impacts of risks and ways to address them; and tools that have been developed to deal with the growing number of disruptive events in the context of PPPs. This section examines how disruptive technologies impact public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure; what this means for the management of existing PPP contracts; and how better ones that are more resilient to such changes, as well as flexible enough to encourage collaboration between the public and private sectors in order to allow implementation of innovative technologies, can be created.

Pandemics and PPPs - How a PPP may weather pandemics, such as the COVID-19 storm, depends on many things, including the stage of the PPP, the location, the sponsors and the government or contracting authority. However, it also depends on the letter of the contract, and how it was designed to withstand such shocks. The lessons learned, and approaches that have been discussed or implemented during these pandemics, provide a useful basis for the development of guidelines aiming to enhance resilience of PPP contracts and contract management.
-
Climate Resilience and PPPs - If structured correctly, PPPs can increase climate resilience offering innovative solutions to address both mitigation and adaptation challenges. This section provides links to policies, legislation, project documents, tools and other resources that are relevant for developing, structuring and implementing climate-smart or climate resilient PPP projects to ensure a more sustainable and resilient future for all.
