Maria Virginia Almanza and Gabriel Almanza Jaén, for second consecutive year have collaborated as consultors with the World Bank, in the report the Procuring Infrastructure PPPs 2018, issued by the World Bank Group.
Procuring Infrastructure PPPs 2018 compiles best practices and offers support to the governments around the world to improve the of their regulations and to better deliver infrastructure service through PPPs. The report launched on April 5 in Singapore, in the World Bank-Singapore Infrastructure Finance Summit, a forum organized by the World Bank, with the Financial Times.
The report benchmarks the regulatory framework of 135 economies against international recognized good practices, scoring them on four elements: preparation, procurement, contract management, and treatment of unsolicited proposals. It found that the average performance of each of the categories varies across regions and income levels, with OECD high- income economies and the Latin America and Caribbean region performing at or above average. In contrast, Sub-Saharan Africa and the East Asia and Pacific (EAP) region have the lowest average scores across thematic areas. EAP sees the greatest intraregional variance. Across the board, the report found that there are opportunities for improvement in PPP, particularly in preparation and contract management.
