Broadly speaking, this Reference Guide is intended for use by government officials in developing countries, as described above. However, different people will find different parts of this Reference Guide useful at different times. Table 2: PPP Reference Guide Modules and Who Should Read Them briefly sets out which module will be most useful to which kind of reader, under which circumstances.

As such, it may be useful for both the newcomer to the PPP area looking for a structured introduction to key PPP topics, and the expert who may find additional references in some specific area.
