SESSION 3 : Unlocking Infrastructure Investment: PPP Trends, Reforms, and PPP Resources for Practitioners This session will highlight a) some of the current trends in Private Investments in Infrastructure in Low- and Middle-Income countries and how they are being financed, b) explore the linkages between PPP regulatory reforms and infrastructure investments, examining how policy changes can enhance investor confidence and in turn lead to increased investments, and c) finally, share existing knowledge resources and platforms maintained by the PPP Group of the World Bank that can help practitioners deepen their understanding of PPP complexities, build capacity, and contribute to creating more robust and successful public-private partnerships. These would include the ChatPPP platform (a safe space for PPP officials to discuss all things PPPs and private infrastructure investments) and the soon to be revamped PPP Resource Centre (PPPRC).
Through this session participants will gain valuable insights into emerging trends and financing models for private infrastructure investments in low- and middle-income countries. They will learn more about how the World Bank’s analytics, diagnostics, and advisory work are helping to enable critical reforms and supporting private capital mobilization (PCM) efforts. Additionally, participants will learn how to access and utilize World Bank tools and resources to strengthen their expertise in managing PPPs, ultimately helping them implement more effective and sustainable infrastructure projects in their own regions.- PresenterDeblina Saha, Senior PPP Specialist, PPP Group, World Ban

SESSION 4 : Climate Change Considerations for PPPs The public sector alone will not be able to fill the climate investment gap without mobilizing private sector expertise, innovative thinking, and finance. As demand for fundamental and essential infrastructure remains high in Asia and the Pacific, PPPs will be instrumental to generate the supply of investable projects. If structured correctly, PPPs can increase climate resilience offering innovative solutions to address both mitigation and adaptation challenges. This session will provide an overview of climate change considerations across the technical, financial, contractual, and procurement aspects of PPP transactions

SESSION 5 : Advantages and Challenges of Unsolicited Project Proposals: Insights from Case Studies Unsolicited Project Proposals (USPs) offer significant benefits such as fostering innovation, expediting project timelines, and mobilizing private investment.

WORKSHOP : Leveraging Carbon Markets for PPPs in Asia Market-based mechanisms, including international cooperation, are part of the broader arsenal of tools to incentivize investments in green infrastructure and enhance the bankability of climate mitigation options in PPPs. While the new carbon trading rules under the Paris Agreement are not yet fully in place, PPP procuring authorities must anticipate the potential revenue opportunities at an early stage and prepare for justifying the funding necessity in parallel with the PPP cycle. This session will give an overview of the latest carbon market developments while highlighting opportunities for PPPs in Asia.
