Key Sources of Non-Revenue Water

Climate Change Toolkits

These toolkits provide sector-specific checklists, sample documents and other resources for creating successful partnerships relating to Climate Change.

Infrastructure Toolkit

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.

A Framework for Disclosure in PPP Projects

The framework provides a systematic structure for pro-actively disclosing information regarding public-private partnership (PPP) projects. It can help client countries create effective policies and practices for public disclosure of PPP transactions. 

The tool was developed at the request of the G-20 and endorsed by them in 2015. A database on disclosure practices in various countries was also developed.
