"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." Albert Einstein Country Guidance (Part I): Streamlining Sustainable Development into PPP Projects/Programs
• Strategic opportunity to maximize the contributions made by public infra and services delivered via PPP to the SDGs • Guidance for PPP practitioners on 2 levels: – PPP program (framework) – PPP project levels 2
Cautions • 17 goals, and 169 targets … • PPPs are complex in their own right … • Be realistic, and opportunistic 3
SDGs and PPPs • Direct – PPP project outputs – Providing water – Providing energy – Providing quality education, etc… • Indirect – PPP project design – Gender equality – Inclusion – Income equality, etc… • PPP Program/Framework – PPP policy, law, institutions (PPPU, PDF, VGF,…)], procedures … – Gender equality – ‘Rule of law’ – Inclusion, etc… 4
SDGs and PPP Programs i. • Build awareness and understanding of SDGs – Include SDGs in PPP communications – Specific training on how/which projects can contribute most to SDGs – Include SDGs in wider PPP capacity building programs and activities • Design Program to stimulate PPP projects with SDG relevance – Incorporate SDGs into policy / law as explicit objectives – Put SDG in project eligibility / selection / prioritization criteria – Add SDGs into PDF, VGF or other support decisions – Make SDGs a consideration in procedural decision-making ( “does the project contribute to SDGs?” ) 5
SDGs and PPP Programs ii. • Achieve SDGs in the setup and operation of the PPP Program itself – Gender and inclusiveness in composition of PPP institutions (e.g. PPPU, PDF, etc.) – Transparent and effective operation of PPP institutions / procedures 6
SDGs and PPP Projects • 4 project stages 7
Sectoral planning / Capital Budgeting / Project pipeline creation / Specific SDG planning / USPs => Infra / service projects to further assess for PPP delivery 1. Identification • Discrete exercise to identify PPP projects that specifically address SDGs • Emphasise / consider potential direct and indirect contributions of all projects • Use SDGs in project selection / prioritization criteria to push SDG relevant projects ‘up the list’ 8
Pre-Feasibility Study / Feasibility Study & Business Case => Project PPP structuring and decision on transaction stage 2. Preparation • Method 1: Incorporate SDGs in standard project preparation activities – Demand / market / developmental assessment – Technical, financial, commercial, legal assessment – Options analysis • Method 2: In addition, conduct specific SDG assessment of the project – What are direct project outputs relevant for SDGs? Can more be added? Can outputs be increased? – What are indirect SDG contributions of the project? How can project design increase these? • Method 3: Add SDGs in decision-making on the project FS – E.g. alongside value-for-money, affordability, etc … – does the project achieve SDG objectives ? 9
Tender Strategy / Bid Docs / Tendering => Competitive selection of the private partner 3. Transaction 1. Tender Strategy – Local benefits (SMEs) and inclusiveness – Gender – Transparency – Include SDGs in proposed bid evaluation methodology 2. Tender Documents Trigger the – SDG ‘policy’ or credentials of firms in pre -qualification requirements market – Ask firms to address SDGs in their Tech Prop (added scoring points) – Include requirements to address SDGs in draft PPP Contract 3. Tendering – Good governance – transparent, open tendering procedure – ‘Rule of law’ in practice – Gender, inclusiveness in makeup of procurement bodies (tendering committees) 10
Contract Management / Monitoring => Ensure PPP projects support SDGs in reality 4. Management • Specific SDG performance monitoring – Regularly / periodically monitor whether / how PPP projects are contributing to SDGs • Incorporate SDGs in monitoring bodies – Inclusiveness in monitoring methods, technology and channels – Gender in composition of bodies, etc… • Transparency – Public disclosure of information on projects and performance • Long term monitoring of lessons learnt – Feed back into next generation of PPP projects – How to maximise project outputs for SDGs – How project design can contribute more to SDGs 11
Part II – Guidance on PPP Projects in Specific SDG Sectors • Healthcare • Education • Water and Sanitation • Energy • Industry and Trans-border Infrastructure • Urban Sector 12
SDGs and PPPs A strategic opportunity to intervene for a sustainable future 13 13
