The WAPPP Small-Scale Public-Private Partnership (SSPPP) Guidelines provide a comprehensive and pragmatic framework to help governments and stakeholders design, develop, and implement SSPPP projects, particularly in developing countries and emerging economies, in pursuit of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These projects, although limited in scale and value, can make a significant contribution to local development by enhancing access to essential services and infrastructure, particularly for underserved communities.
For the purposes of these guidelines, we consider small-scale public-private partnerships as smaller-sized infrastructure or service delivery partnerships between the public and private sectors. They are typically more community-focused than larger-scale PPPs, and hence more likely to be implemented at the municipal, regional, or subnational levels.
Recognizing that conventional PPP frameworks often focus on large, capital-intensive infrastructure projects, these guidelines aim to fill a critical gap. They tailor the SSPPP process to be simpler, more flexible, and more accessible, while still ensuring due diligence, transparency, and public value. The guidelines are underpinned by good international practices but are adapted to the unique contexts and constraints of small-scale projects.
