With regards to new content, 2018 saw the full launch of the Small-and-Medium Enterprises(SMEs) and PPPs page, which showcases legal frameworks, procurement criteria, contractual obligations, local content rules and promotion of SMEs by larger investors. 2018 also saw the release of a new Legal Issues in Pro-Poor PPPs section, which includes a discussion of different mechanisms to ensure that PPPs serve the poor, such as subsidies, pro-poor connection policies, output-based aid, innovations in billing and collecting, and ways to bring in community involvement.

The five training modules cover the following topics:

• Introduction to PPPs
• PPP Project Identification and Preparation
• PPP Structure and Financing
• Managing PPP Procurement and Contracting
• PPP Contract Management and Performance Monitoring Techniques

In sum, the report benchmarks the regulatory framework of 135 economies against international recognized good practices, scoring them on four elements: preparation, procurement, contract management, and treatment of unsolicited proposals.

In contrast, Sub-Saharan Africa and the East Asia and Pacific (EAP) region have the lowest average scores across thematic areas.
