The Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) helps governments strengthen policies, regulations, and institutions to catalyze sustainable and inclusive private participation in infrastructure and expand global knowledge to inform the delivery of sustainable, inclusive, and resilient infrastructure with private sector participation.
PPIAF strengthens policies and institutions, builds capacity to scale infrastructure delivery, and improves the capability of subnational entities to access finance without sovereign guarantees. PPIAF promotes knowledge transfer by funding research and tools to bolster public and private sector engagement to improve infrastructure policy and delivery and bridge the infrastructure investment gap.
PPIAF accepts grant proposals that are in line with its mandate to support governments in creating and strengthening a sound enabling environment for private participation in infrastructure through the following types of activities:
- Framing infrastructure development strategies
- Designing and implementing policy, regulatory, and institutional reforms
- Organizing stakeholder consultation workshops
- Building government institutional capacity
- Designing and implementing pioneering projects
PPIAF supports national governments and regional institutions. It also supports sub-national entities, which include:
- Special-purpose government entities delivering infrastructure services (such as utilities, authorities, and state-owned enterprises);
- General-purpose sub-national government entities (such as municipalities, provinces and states); and
- Financial intermediaries and entities (e.g., banks; funds and facilities; country development banks; and municipal funds), with a primary focus on sub-national infrastructure lending.
