The team gained valuable insights about established PPP programs during its visits with the host countries. Foremost, the relative maturity of the host nation PPP programs offered a rich environment for the collection of useful and tested information on PPP policies and practices. In many cases, the team received details on second- and even third-generation PPPs. Hence, the degree of institutional learning that had occurred was clear. Further, the diversity among policies and practices observed also provided alternative perspectives of various issues.
This experience base provided the team with numerous findings. The most significant ones are highlighted below in two categories: general and project life cycle findings.
