Download or read book Private Solutions for Infrastructure written by Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Philippines has led many of its East Asian neighbors in creating a policy environment that is conducive to private sector participation in infrastructure. Together with a strong commitment to generating results, this policy environment produced an impressive record of private sector transactions in a relatively short period of time. However, some problems remain. This report, prepared at the request of the Philippine Government, describes and assesses the current status and performance of key infrastructure sectors and the policy, regulatory, and institutional environment for involving the private sector in those sectors. Its purpose is to assist policymakers in framing future reform and development strategies for infrastructure and to assist potential private sector investors in assessing investment opportunities.

Download or read book Focusing Partnerships written by Janelle Plummer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the increasing occurrence of policies aimed at mobilising the financial and human resources of the private sector, most urban local governments responsible for urban basic services in the South do not have the capacity to initiate and sustain partnerships. Nor do they understand how they can create partnerships that target the poor. This sourcebook provides practical information and guidance to do so. With extensive illustrative material from Africa, Asia and Latin America, it sets out a strategic framework for building municipal capacity to create pro-poor partnerships. It focuses on implementation rather than policy. It locates private sector participation within the broader urban governance and poverty reduction agenda. And it is above all concerned to supply information on the issues and processes involved in making the public?private partnership (PPP) approach appropriate for service delivery in developing countries. The second in a series of capacity-building sourcebooks, it will be invaluable for those concerned with the capacity of local levels of government: policy-makers, municipal authorities, development agencies and practitioners, and all those involved in urban governance and poverty reduction.

This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural production needs to grow by 60 percent between 2005 and 2050 to feed the world’s growing population, which is expected to reach 9.3 billion by 2050. 6 billion out of 9.3 will live in urban areas, roughly meaning some part of 3 billion rural habitants (who are farmers) will feed 9.3 billion people, with limited land and water and against challenges of changing climate. Every year, USD 83 billion (in 2009 USD) should be invested in the developing world to double their agricultural production. UNDP, considering the demand from regional governments and international community, initiated a project for a tripartite regional consortium in Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in agro-food industry. The first phase is concluded in October 2015 when the Memorandum of Understanding establishing the Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan (AKT) Agro-food Industry Consortium signed by the governments; and the AKT Agro-food Industry Consortium launched at Dushanbe in October 2015. As part of the Feasibility & Build Up Phase, a comprehensive feasibility study started immediately after the launch. This analytical and diagnostic work provides the most detailed assessment of agro-food value chains in in Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to date, and identifies a set of concrete investment areas at the micro, meso and macro levels.

This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the importance of infrastructure sectors in achieving economic growth and poverty reduction is well established, raising debt and equity capital for infrastructure development and service provision has been a challenge for developing countries. Risk mitigation instruments facilitate the mobilization of commercial debt and equity capital by transferring risks that private financiers would not be willing to take to third-party official and private institutions that are capable of taking such risks. There has been increasing interest and discussion on risk mitigation instruments in the context of infrastructure financing among developing country governments, multi- and bilateral donors, and the private sector. However, due to the complex and diverse nature of risk mitigation instruments, what they can and cannot offer and how they can best be utilized for infrastructure financing are not well understood. This book summarizes existing risk mitigation instruments - primarily focusing on those offered by multilateral and bilateral official agencies - and presents recent trends and developments that make these guarantee and insurance products valuable in securing financing for infrastructure projects in developing countries. Topics covered include: Descriptions of different types of risk mitigation instruments characteristics of multilateral, bilateral, and private providers of risk mitigation instruments and compatability of instruments Recent developments and innovative applications of risk mitigation instruments through case transactions areas that pose challenges to the use of risk mitigation instruments as catalysts of infrastructure development.ucture projects and finance.

Download or read book Infrastructure for the Built Environment Global Procurement Strategies written by Rodney Howes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-08-14 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world there is a growing demand for high quality public services to support socio-economic development. Infrastructure is central to improving the level of public services and the quality of the built environment. But in key areas such as transport, energy, water, healthcare, education and communications, public resources are not sufficient to keep pace with this demand. As the public sector struggles to keep up, the private sector is increasingly involved in the procurement of economic and social infrastructure. Until now procurement strategies have often concentrated on the mechanisms and the ‘bricks and mortar’ without a thorough analysis of the processes and their implications for services. The result is that all too often infrastructure projects are implemented in an ad hoc and fragmented way. In this ground-breaking book, Rodney Howes and Herbert Robinson provide a holistic approach to infrastructure provision that facilitates infrastructure delivery aimed at continuously improving the level and quality of services. Critical issues of policy and strategy, implementation, and operational aspects are examined within the context of sustainability. By emphasising the importance of procuring infrastructure within an overall national or regional development policy and strategy, the authors have demonstrated the importance of linking investment and resource decisions to local social, economic and environmental needs. With each chapter carefully written to reflect part of the infrastructure delivery chain and illustrated with practical examples and case studies from around the world, this book offers a new blueprint for infrastructure investment and resource management.
