Summary: | This report presents a review of current
practices on the disclosure of information on Public-Private
Partnership (PPP) projects and contracts from 11
jurisdictions at the national and sub-national level
representing 8 countries. It is part of a broader program of
work being undertaken by the World Bank Institute (WBI) on
increasing the transparency of public-private contracting.
The objective of this review is to present emerging
practices on the disclosure of information on PPP projects
and contracts and to distill from these suggestions to
government agencies on how they can provide more information
to their public on their PPP projects. There are no grounds
to believe that PPPs require greater transparency than
similar projects executed through traditional public
procurement. However as with publicly-executed projects PPPs
can benefit from greater transparency. In addition PPPs may
require considerations and approaches to disclosure not
present in publicly-executed projects. The remainder of this
report is structured as follows: section one presents a
synthesis of observed practices and then a recommended
approach in terms of essential information to be disclosed
and the key instruments through which this is done; section
two presents country case studies in a standardized format
reflecting the recommendations in section one; annexures one
and two list relevant websites, legislation and policy. |
