Disruption of infrastructure services can cause significant social and economic losses, particularly in the event of a natural disaster and shows the importance of considering resilience to disaster in infrastructure investment decisions.
By the early 2000s, traffic in Senegal’s capital city of Dakar had become unbearable. A skyrocketing number of vehicles strained the city’s infrastructure, and traffic jams choked not only the major road into and out of town but also the region’s economic growth. A new highway that would ease road congestion had been planned decades earlier but had been shelved because of the cost, complexity, and difficulty of financing. Abdoulaye Wade, elected president in 2000, sought a new solution: a public–private partnership.
The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, a territory not incorporated of the United States, through the Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority (PRHTA) and Autopistas Metropolitanas of Puerto Rico, LLC established the first highway public-private partnership (PPP) in the island under Act No. 29 of June 8, 2009, known as the Puerto Rico Public-Private Alliance Law.
To select the best procurement approach for the project, a value for money (VFM) assessment was completed by independent financial advisor, which compared the DBFOM P3 procurement to a traditional Design-Bid-Build (DBB) procurement.
This paper presents a framework to analyze the trade, GDP and welfare effects of common transport infrastructure. This is an indispensable first step to assess the value of large-scale projects for the countries that will participate, as a group and individually, and for non-participating countries. Our analysis is based on the framework developed by Caliendo and Parro (2015), which we extend to study the impact of infrastructure investment.3 The underlying framework is a Ricardian model of sectoral linkages, trade in intermediate goods and sectoral heterogeneity in production.
In 2012, PPIAF supported the Government of Vietnam to improve the implementation of performance-based contracts (PBC) for road maintenance. This was done in order to enhance the maintenance delivery method and to increase private-sector engagement in this arena. PPIAF evaluated the state of pilot PBCs in Vietnam and proposed a road map for strengthening the use of such contracts based on international best practices.
