World Bank Group's Role in PPPs

The World Bank Group drives impactful development to create a world free of poverty on a livable planet. It offers financial support, policy advice, and technical assistance to help countries reduce poverty and promote sustainable development. Through the funding of public projects, dissemination of global data and research, and efforts to attract private investment, the World Bank plays a critical role in enabling long-term, inclusive growth. 

The Infrastructure Finance Department of the World Bank Group plays a key role in strengthening the effectiveness and reach of public-private partnerships (PPPs). In addition to managing the Public-Private Partnership Resource Center (PPPRC), the department works closely with global development partners to develop and maintain several important knowledge management tools, including: 

• PPI Database - Private Participation in Infrastructure Database
• PPP Reference Guide
• The APMG Public-Private Partnerships Certification Program
• PPIAF - Public Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility
• QII - Quality Infrastructure Investment Partnership
• GIF - Global Infrastructure Facility

These tools and partnerships aim to build capacity, improve project outcomes, and expand access to sustainable infrastructure in developing countries.
