Focusing Partnerships
Despite the increasing occurrence of policies aimed at mobilising the financial and human resources of the private sector, most urban local governments responsible for urban basic services in the South do not have the capacity to initiate and sustain partnerships. Nor do they understand how they can create partnerships that target the poor. This sourcebook provides practical information and guidance to do so. With extensive illustrative material from Africa, Asia and Latin America, it sets out a strategic framework for building municipal capacity to create pro-poor partnerships. It focuses on implementation rather than policy. It locates private sector participation within the broader urban ...

World Bank Group Support to Public-Private Partnerships
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are long-term contracts between a private party and a government agency that strive to provide a public asset or service in which the private party bears both some risk and some management responsibility. If implemented well, PPPs can help overcome inadequate infrastructure that constrains economic growth, particularly in developing countries. The use of PPPs has increased in the last two decades; they are now used in more than 134 developing countries, contributing about 15-20 percent of total infrastructure investment. The World Bank Group has expanded its support to PPPs through a wide range of instruments and services. During the last 10 years, its supp...
The Rise and Fall of PublicÐPrivate Partnerships
This book explores how the private sector has long been expected to mobilize finance into much needed infrastructure investment in developing countries. This insightful book is a detailed exploration of the World BankÕs initial promotion of public-private partnerships (PPPs) as a solution, and evaluates their insufficient performance over the past decades.
Remittances in Africa
In recent years, much emphasis has been placed on the magnitude, growth and leveraging of remittances for development in the African continent. Remittances in Africa is a review that catalogues the main studies, policies and technical assistance programs on remittances in Africa that have been carried out by the World Bank, other multilateral and bilateral development agencies, and governments. These activities have lead up to and influenced, directly or indirectly, the initiative of creating an African Institute for Remittances (AIR). As one of five Africa’s Legacy projects, AIR is to be established with the objective of harnessing migrant remittances for social and economic development in Africa. The contents of Remittances in Africa should prove useful in undertaking further research in support of this goal.

Institutional Investment in Infrastructure in Emerging Markets and Developing Economies

International Best Practices of Public-Private Partnership
This book discusses how Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is practiced in developed and developing economies. The book demonstrates how PPP as a concept has grown over the years with many governments particularly from developing economies/countries seeking to enhance infrastructure growth and development through this scheme. Further, the book explores how PPP has become the major infrastructure procurement policy adopted by many governments globally to address the rapid increase in demand for infrastructure due to the increase in population growth. Although, there are many available textbooks on PPP, this book is unique because it provides in-depth analysis and discussion on the international...
