In the last few years, IFC has prioritized an approach to creating bankable private sector infrastructure opportunities that we call “Scaling”—focusing not on single asset development, but on a holistic approach that creates a pipeline of infrastructure projects. The essence of the Scaling approach is to develop a robust public-private partnership (PPP) model for a single deal and then replicate it. This spreads costs, enhances impact, and encourages programmati...

The use of Public Private Partnerships (PPP) as the vehicle to procure large-scale social and physical infrastructure projects is becoming increasingly deployed around the globe. This international study evaluated the use of PPP procurement in the UK, Australia and China as three of the most mature and rapidly developing users of the PPP procurement route. It focused on the ways of improving digitalisation in PPP procurement with the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and its impa...

Kazakhstan has put in place a well-structured legal and institutional framework for preparing Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) at both the national and regional levels. The government has prioritised PPPs as a delivery mode for both economic and social infrastructure. The central emphasis on PPPs had a strong impact at the regional level with a large number of relatively small projects signed in the past years. At the national level the impact has been modest mostly due to financing chal...

Resource recovery from wastewater facilities in the form of energy, reusable water, biosolids, and other resources, such as nutrients, represents an economic and financial benefit that contributes to the sustainability of water supply and sanitation systems and the water utilities operating them. Resource recovery can transform sanitation from a costly service to one that is self-sustaining and adds value to the economy. Indeed, if financial returns can cover operation and maintenance cost...

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a new organizational form to provide public infrastructure over the last 30 years. Governments find them attractive because PPPs can be used to avoid fiscal check-and-balances and increase spending. At the same time, PPPs can lead to important efficiency gains, especially for transportation infrastructure. These gains include better maintenance, reduced bureaucratic costs, and filtering white elephants. For these gains to materialize, it i...

This report outlines and explains a method for estimating the rate of return that is required by equity investors in PPP contracts in emerging markets. It is designed for policymakers, practitioners, and others involved in quantitative financial analysis (including budget appraisals, value for money analyses, and the negotiation of contract prices) in these markets.

Smallholder farmers are becoming more important players in global food chains as agribusiness companies seek to secure future food supplies for the world’s growing population. For some crops, smallholders are already an important source of production, but their role is expanding as land constraints limit the potential for growth in plantation agriculture and as the locus of future food market growth shifts to emerging markets. Those markets face increasing demand for affordable, nutr...

Securing decent work for young people in Africa is critical given the large numbers of young people entering the labour force each year (about 11  million). With few opportunities for formal employment in manufacturing and services, agribusinesses offer young people the opportunity to earn income in rural areas. If others emulate them, there is the potential for positive regional spillovers. One institutional innovation that enables young people to mitigate financial and knowledge han...

This publication discusses the engagements and initiatives of multilateral development banks and the private sector to attain the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. MDBs play a critical role in supporting efforts to translate the SDGs into meaningful country-level targets, policies, programs, and projects needed to achieve them. They provide direct financing and help “unlock” and catalyze additional public and private resources. MDBs also provide policy advice and te...

Caribbean countries have a growing interest in using public-private partnerships (PPPs) to address their infrastructure needs. As most of these countries have limited fiscal space for public investment, they see PPPs as a way to crowd in private investment to improve public service provision, support their tourism sector, and boost economic growth. This paper reviews the potential contribution of PPPs to addressing infrastructure needs in the region, as well as potential risks they...
