Governments around the world, and especially in developing countries, struggle to develop and maintain infrastructure that supports national economic growth and delivers basic services to their citizens. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have a long history of funding and delivering infrastructure. Under the right conditions, such partnerships can be a viable option to deliver infrastructure services that enable growth and serve citizens. This free online course outlines the role of PPPs in the delivery of infrastructure services.

The four case studies conducted in Casablanca, Morocco, Sana’a and rural Yemen, and the northern part of the West Bank in Palestine aim to help fill the gender data gap by increasing understanding of the ways in which transport services are facilitating or constraining women’s access to resources, markets, training, information, and employment. The studies also identify priority areas for public action to improve women’s mobility and enhance their access to economic opportunities and empowerment.
