New e-Course: Planning and Implementing Disclosure in PPPs
In the wake of the global economic crisis, the demand for public-private partnerships (PPPs) to deliver infrastructure services is higher than ever. Well-structured PPPs can attract private sector investment and expertise while effectively managing risks.  With support from PPIAF, the World Bank has launched an e-Course to guide PPP practitioners in planning and implementing PPP disclosure. It targets government officials who manage public investments, PPP regulatory bodies and contracting authorities, and frontline technical staff of the World Bank who advise and guide governments

In the wake of the global economic crisis, the demand for public-private partnerships (PPPs) to deliver infrastructure services is higher than ever. Well-structured PPPs can attract private sector investment and expertise while effectively managing risks. 

With support from PPIAF, the World Bank has launched an e-Course to guide PPP practitioners in planning and implementing PPP disclosure. It targets government officials who manage public investments, PPP regulatory bodies and contracting authorities, and frontline technical staff of the World Bank who advise and guide governments on PPPs.

The course outlines disclosure in PPPs and guides participants through the disclosure diagnostic process. Stakeholders can use the knowledge and tools provided in the course to assess the status of PPP disclosure in a given country and implement a customized disclosure framework.

This self-paced e-course consists of four modules and an introduction based on the World Bank’s Framework for Disclosure in PPPs. In four self-paced modules, learners will

  • Understand the importance of disclosure in PPPs and be able to explain the rationale for implementing structured PPP disclosure

  • Demonstrate how to undertake a disclosure diagnostic to assess the status of PPP disclosure in a country

  • Learn how to develop and implement a customized framework for disclosure for that country.

It equips PPP professionals with the skills necessary to plan and implement a customized PPP disclosure framework in a systematic and sustained way.
