Welcome to the Web-portal for the Global Public-Private Partnership (PPP) in Infrastructure!

ANNOUNCEMENT: PPP DAYS 2010

The fourth annual PPP Days global conference will be held on March 22-23, 2010 in Manila, Philippines, as a collaboration between the Asian Development Bank and the World Bank Institute. PPP Days is a global meeting of public sector PPP practitioners, providing a central platform to exchange knowledge and to share insights on new developments in the PPP practice.

PPP Days 2010 will highlight PPPs in a changing global environment, examining how the public sector has responded and private sector players have adapted to the financial crisis, and discussing what governments will need to do to ensure deals continue to be financed and represent value for money. The conference will feature:

  • Best practices from the most active PPP programs over the past year, in light of the global financial crisis. Senior public officials and leaders from the private sector will share their perspective on what is needed to ensure continued private sector interest.
  • Emerging challenges for PPP practitioners addressing important policy drivers at the global, national and local levels which are reshaping infrastructure and public service priorities for governments worldwide at all jurisdictional levels. Key policy issues in urban space, health, water supply and resources in PPPs will be covered. A series of optional site visits will engage participants with PPP project development in Metro Manila.

Please note that the meeting is invitation only, official invitations are subject to World Bank and Asian Development Bank clearance procedures. For more information please contact us at pppidays@worldbank.org.
