The Global Infrastructure Hub has launched an interactive guide on allocating risks in PPP projects. The new guide was prepared for the GI Hub by Norton Rose Fulbright.
The Allocating Risks in Public-Private Partnership Contracts guide focuses on the following 12 project types:
- Transport: toll roads, ports, airports and rail
- Energy: solar PV, hydro power, power transmission and natural gas distribution
- Water and Sanitation: water desalination, water distribution and solid waste collection, disposal, landfill and recycling.
The guide is designed to help governments, primarily in emerging markets, to build a pipeline of viable PPP projects, and so is also likely to be of interest to many private sector participants in these markets.
The web version of the guide is interactive, allowing users to focus on a particular project type, or a particular risk, and to make comparisons across sectors and projects. It explores options for the allocation of risk, and provides information on practical measures to help mitigate issues and typical government support arrangements.
The GI Hub is also sponsoring a blog forum on which experts, including from Norton Rose Fulbright, are providing commentaries and updates, and responding to questions and comments.
