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.

These are milestone achievements coming during a significant year for PPPLRC: the 10 year anniversary from the initial website in 2006.  Over the last 10 years, the PPPLRC grew from a small pilot to one of the most recognized sites on PPP documents on the internet, a valuable resource for policy makers, transaction advisors, government officials and others involved in structuring and contracting PPPs.
