Infrastructure Knowledge Exchange

It addresses the growing worldwide interest in the use of light rail metro transit (LRMT) schemes to provide urban transport solutions and reviews the potential use of public-private partnership (PPP).

The core principle behind the PPP is the creation of a contractual bubble – a framework of contracts.

The purpose of these principles is to help government work with private sector partners to finance and bring to fruition projects in areas of vital economic importance, such as transport, water and power supply and telecommunications.

The Port Reform Toolkit is aimed to provide policymakers and practitioners with effective decision support in undertaking sustainable and well-considered reforms of public institutions that provide, direct, and regulate port services in developing countries.

This guidance tool has been developed for governments that wish to enhance the viability of their PPP infrastructure projects.
