PPP Knowledge Lab
Description of project
The World Bank, along with other MDBs, launched the PPP Knowledge Lab website to increase awareness of PPP issued and provided knowledge resources for implementing PPP transactions.
Their goal was for the PPP Lab to become the go-to site for PPP knowledge. The website provided a comprehensive summary of the PPP life cycle and sector overviews, along with detailed information on each country's PPP activity and infrastructure needs. The Lab also maintained a curated library of searchable PPP resources that was continuously updated. An important component of the website was the consolidation of country-specific information, ensuring that each country page offered accurate and up-to-date data on its PPP activity.
