The Public-Private Partnership Legal Resource Center (PPPLRC) launches new website

The Public-Private Partnership Legal Resource Center (PPPLRC) as the successor of the Public-Private Partnership in Infrastructure Resource Center for Contracts, Laws and Regulations (PPPIRC) provides easy access to an array of sample legal materials which can assist in the planning, design and legal structuring of any infrastructure project – especially a project which involves a public-private partnership (PPP).

The mandate of the PPPLRC covers the following areas:

(i)           guidance on structuring a PPP project and its enabling environment;

(ii)          sector specific information.

At the same time, a new PPPLRC website - https://ppp.worldbank.org/public-private-partnership – was launched to highlight the structure of the PPP project based on the analysis of the government's objectives in the development of the infrastructure project. Depending on the goals of the government and objectives of the project, the PPPLRC then has materials to assess the PPP legal framework and provides sample legislation and guidelines also for sector specific legislation and regulation which may need to be modified or enacted.

For the user's convenience, the PPPLRC provides a PPP Library of summarized and annotated sample agreements and other resources, where materials may be found by sector, region, document type and language. The PPPLRC also offers a wealth of sector-specific information on energy, water, transportation, information & communication technologies, solid waste, and most recently has dedicated a page to resources on clean energy.
