GLOBAL: PPP Disclosure E-learning Module and Country Assessment Study

Disclosure of information plays an important role in PPP programs, as it can reduce the risk of corruption, increase the mobilization of private capital for investment in infrastructure, increase public confidence and awareness, and achieve value for money through PPP transactions. Several clients of the World Bank Group, including those with well-established PPP programs, currently do not disclose PPP information in a structured way throughout the project life cycle. Although countries are trying to move towards a more systematic approach to disclosure, challenges in developing and implementing systematic disclosure persist. These include limited or unclear legal mandates to disclose, lack of internal guidance and processes, unstructured and irregular disclosure, and a lack of clarity in the responsibility to disclose, amongst others. Responding to these challenges, the World Bank with PPIAF support has launched an e-Course to help PPP practitioners to understand how to plan and implement PPP disclosure frameworks. The e-course is available online and is open for general public.
