The PPP Infrastructure Resource Center

A web-based knowledge management tool, jointly funded by the World Bank and the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF), designed to provide guidance on legal and contractual issues relating to infrastructure projects

Includes practice notes and checklists, together with sample agreements and clauses, sample legislation and regulatory instruments, and sample terms of reference for appointing advisors

There are links to websites and materials produced by government agencies and PPP units from around the world, such as standardized bidding documents

The website includes documents in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic and in the near future Mandarin Chinese

Material is sourced from Bank-funded projects, as well as publicly available documentation

Agreements posted on the website are intended as samples and NOT models.

Agreements that are not already in the public domain have been ‘sanitized’ to preserve confidentiality.

The sample agreements have been annotated to indicate provisions that are noteworthy, unusual, or applicable only in special circumstances.

Each model agreement is accompanied by a summary.
