Support with development of content of the PPP Knowledge Lab
Description of project
The World Bank, together with other MDBs, has recently launched the PPP Knowledge Lab website in an effort to increase awareness of the issues around PPPs as well as provide governments and practitioners with knowledge resources to better implement PPP transactions. Their goal is for the PPP Lab to become the goto site for all knowledge in the PPP area. The website provides a comprehensive summary of the PPP life cycle and overviews of each sector, as well as detailed information on every country’s PPP activity and infrastructure needs. A curated library of PPP resources that is searchable and will be continually updated supports the Lab. An essential piece of the website is the consolidation of country specific information, ensuring each country page provides accurate and up to date data on the country’s PPP activity.
Aninver was hired to support the World Bank in the elaboration of content of the PPP Knowledge Lab website.
