Launching Public Private Partnerships for Highways in Transition Economies

The private sector has been involved in financing infrastructure in many countries. This has been done through concessions operating under a public-private partnership (PPP). However, transition economies do not utilize PPPs very often because of significant and increasing potential financing gaps. This paper discusses how partial risk guarantees can help PPPs. The table of contents lists the following chapter headings: 1. Introduction, 2. Background, 3. Some Lessons Learned from Successes and Failures, 4. Concession Laws, 5. Unsolicited Proposals, 6. Steps to Launch a PPP Program in Highways, 7. Selection of the Strategic Private Investor or Concessionaire, 8. World Bank Partial Risk Guarantees, 9. Greenfield and Road Maintenance Concession Programs, 10. World Bank/Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) Toolkit for PPP in Highways, 11. Economic Feasibility of Projects, and 12. Conclusions.
