This Guidelines aims to prevent delays associated with safeguard concerns in the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) process. These delays arise from some implementing agencies’ limited resources and capacity to review all safeguard laws, decrees, orders, issuances, rules, and regulations requiring integration in infrastructure and development projects, and limited understanding on how the safeguards requirements affect the various phases of delivering a PPP project (development, review and approval, procurement and implementation).
