Technical brief on resilient infrastructure public-private partnerships: Policy, contracting, and finance

This technical brief highlights key considerations and good practices for structuring resilient infrastructure public-private partnerships (PPPs) through Policy and Legislation; Contracting and Disaster Risk Allocation; Procurement, Monitoring, and Payment; and Insurance. The brief was developed based on country case studies on Japan, India, and Kenya as well as a literature review.

While all infrastructure PPPs inevitably deal with financing, construction, regulatory, demand, and operational risks, among others, projects in disaster-prone regions must additionally develop commercially and technically viable solutions for managing disaster and climate risk.
