Guidelines for Successful Public-Private Partnerships
This document was designed as a practical tool for PPP practitioners in the public sector faced with the opportunity of structuring a PPP and of integrating or “blending” European Communities grant financing in PPPs. The report is to focus on a number of critical issues influencing the successful integration of public grants, private funds, IFI loans (such as the EIB or EBRD) and European Commission financing. Reference is made to a number of analytical techniques which are well known and documented. These are not presented with the objective of promoting a standard methodology but rather in an attempt to highlight areas in which particular care and analysis needs to be observed. The Guidelines are not designed to provide an exhaustive list of PPP structures nor present any structures as having the endorsement of the Commission. The Guidelines present five thematic parts dealing in turn with:
- PPP structures, suitability and success factors
- Legal and regulatory structures
- Financial and economic Implications of PPPs
- Integrating grant financing and PPP objectives
- Conception, planning and implementation of PPPs
Resource Book on PPP Case Studies
The growing interest in the development of PPP’s was confirmed by the request, put forward by representatives of Candidate Countries, to complement the Guidelines with examples of actual projects in order to better understand the practical implementation issues. Following this request, the Commission has developed this Resource Book, consisting of a set of case studies of PPPs in both Western and Central Europe and in various sectors including: Water and Wastewater Management, Solid Waste Management and Transport. These sectors are representative of those in which the Commission has provided grant financing. While they are not the only sectors in which PPP principles are being applied, they do provide a balance between sectors with a considerable history of PPP application such as transport and those in which it is relatively new and encountering specific issues.

Transport Infrastructure Investment: Options for Efficiency
Summary PDF Version | HTML Version
Full Report PDF Version | HTML Version
This OECD report examines principles for determining the most appropriate models for investment in surface transport infrastructure. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have attracted much attention in recent years. Appropriately designed, PPPs have the potential to allow for important efficiency gains by transferring the responsibility for long-term cost management to private organizations that are intrinsically motivated to reduce overall costs in pursuit of profits, including by way of innovation. But PPPs are complex arrangements, with many pitfalls. Much surface transport infrastructure does not lend itself to PPPs, so the true role for these instruments in the overall system has to be carefully defined. Governments are faced with a complicated set of options for investing in infrastructure. In all likelihood, different elements of the surface transport system will employ different models, including various degrees of user charging. One of the greatest challenges is in ensuring consistency across the system.
This report begins in Part I with a discussion of the overall challenge of providing surface transport infrastructure, including a description of the available models. It also provides an overview of the current situation observed around the world. Part II discusses the fundamental question of how borrowing for the creation of surface transport infrastructure should be treated in public accounts. Part III considers the potential benefits of using different models for the provision of infrastructure. Part IV looks at key questions related to the design of PPPs, particularly their legal and regulatory frameworks and procurement processes. The report is based on research by a working group of experts from 19 countries, chaired by Dr. Urban Karlström, Director General of the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute.

Governance in Public-Private Partnerships for Infrastructure Development
2007 Guidebook on Promoting Good Governance in Public-Private Partnerships
Prepared by the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Alliance of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), this Guidebook promotes good governance in the use of PPPs and is designed to support PPP capacity-building programs especially in the transition economies. The PPP Alliance
was established in 2001 to improve the awareness, capacity and skills of the public sector in developing successful PPPs in Europe. To this end, the Alliance prepares guidelines on best practices in PPPs, as well as preparing other PPP-related educational and training materials, and sponsoring PPP conferences and workshops. The Guidelines were reviewed at an International Conference organized by UNECE and the Government of Israel with the participation of experts from different countries to provide their experience and best practice in creating good governance conditions for PPPs1. A network of experts has also been established, incorporating the experts from the former Alliance group, to implement a work program on PPPs.
