The Guide can be used in a number of ways. For example:
• As a broad guide to procurement and implementation issues in PPPs;
• As an introduction to the information to be requested from PPP advisers;
• As a starting point to learn more about specific aspects of PPP design.
Because it has been designed as a good practice sourcebook, the value of the Guide ultimately depends on the value of the information sources provided in it. These sources are indicated in the Guidance box at the end of each step. They contain the title of the publication, its author(s), date of publication and a brief paragraph explaining the topics covered in the publication.
For example:

| All sources have a reference number to guide the reader to further information about the issue discussed in the text. This is done by using the symbol ">" next to the relevant reference number. Most sources relate to existing PPP guidelines or public policy material which can be accessed via the internet. In those cases, the references include the internet link address, as shown above. For publications, such as printed books, or other published material that cannot be accessed via the internet, the source description includes the ISBN details. For information: EPEC Team
