| Summary: | The objective of this paper is to understand what small-scale PPP projects look like; to examine at a preliminary level if there are overarching problems and constraints in undertaking these projects; and to use the preliminary observations and findings to inform further work in this area.
This paper looks specifically at 10 projects of value at or below $50 million in the South Asia, Middle East and Africa regions across a few identified parameters, summarizes the findings, and identifies overarching concerns—including issues and constraints related to policy and institutions, financing, and capacity, which might act as impediments to quick scaling up or replication of these projects as well as project-specific issues that could offer important lessons for future structuring of similar projects. However, this review is only preliminary and does not seek to examine detailed technical aspects of these projects or their contract documents in-depth. The paper also looks at some of the related initiatives in small-scale PPP projects in some additional key countries that were recommended during discussions by practitioners working on such projects within PPP units in client countries, and WBG and IFC staff involved in providing financing or transaction advisory services to such projects. |
