The World Bank's Infrastructure Finance, Public-Private Partnerships and Guarantees Global Practice (IPG) developed the Tool. In 2023, climate change parameters were incorporated, resulting in an updated user manual. The Tool is an enhanced version of the PPP Screening Tool (PST) created by IPG in 2017 and updated in 2021 with Pipeline Analytics functionality. It enables the comparison, analysis, and prioritization of numerous projects.
The development of sustainable infrastructure, whether through public-private partnerships (PPPs) or public procurement, requires a wide range of considerations and decisions to be taken into account. These include understanding the demand for services, setting a price that is affordable for both consumers and governments, and assessing and mitigating the environmental and social impacts of projects. In the case of PPPs, these decisions need to be made while also meeting the expectations of investors, developers, and financiers.
Across emerging markets, much needed economic growth is hampered by a shortage of roads, mass rapid transit systems, telecommunications, power plants, sanitation, medical facilities and other basic infrastructure, all of which are much needed to achieve sustainable development.
Facing budgetary constraints, many developing countries consider Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) as a way to mobilize private sector resources, bridge their infrastructure gaps and improve services delivery.
This toolbox provides an inventory of instruments available from multilateral development banks and the largest European Development Finance Institutions to support private investment in the Compact with Africa (CWA) countries (Cote d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Morocco, Rwanda, Senegal, and Tunisia). In order to provide a useful overview for clients, the toolbox groups the instruments into three main categories: those available to governments, to investors, and to firms.
Under each category, the following structure is applied:
The approved Environmental and Social Framework introduces comprehensive labor and working condition protection; an over-arching non-discrimination principle; community health and safety measures that address road safety, emergency response and disaster mitigation; and a responsibility to include stakeholder engagement throughout the project cycle.
The Toolkit is for use by PPP practitioners across India in both the public and private sectors.
This tool helps governments in early stage identification and selection of projects suitable to be delivered on a PPP basis. The tool contains a set of criteria that government officials need to consider when assessing whether a project is likely to achieve Value-for- Money (VfM) if delivered as a PPP and is based on international best practice and experiences. The toolkit is designed for screening PPP projects across developing countries in Asia and the Pacific.
