How Public Private Partnerships Change The World Nick Houlton, COO, APMG-International Growing populations and aging infrastructures are inhibiting the ability of many nations to provide essential public services needed to develop their economies – tackling this infrastructure deficit will require the public and private sectors to work together. Sound structured public private partnerships (PPP) provide an effective solution to this issue – helping governments raise the funds necessary to meet infrastructure demands and stimulate economic development. Both public and private sectors in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) often lack the ability to formulate, implement and maintain PPPs – causing many projects to fail. Join Nick Houlton as he explains the new PPP certification programme and its supporting guide and how the new qualification helps make the role of PPPs more prominent in enabling delivery of essential services that are key to the UN’s vision of ending extreme poverty. The APMG PPP Certification Programme is an innovation of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the Inter-American Development Bank through its Multilateral Investment Fund (IADB through its MIF), the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), the World Bank Group (WBG) and part funded by the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) with a shared vision of enhancing PPP performance globally.

Global Demand For PPPs
§ All countries need to develop infrastructure in order to grow and/
or maintain their economies
§ The need for infrastructure development is particularly great for
EMDEs
§ Most governments lack the resources to invest adequately in
their necessary infrastructure
§ The UN have adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals that
will require investment of $2-3 trillion per year for the next 15-20
years
§ This represents tens of thousands of PPP projects per year
“It is critically important that UN member states are provided with user
friendly guidance on the PPP models and templates that address the
SDG
