Practical Tools for Practitioners of PPPs and Inclusive Business

The following inventory lists practical tools for PPP and Inclusive Business practitioners from donor agencies and the private sector . It is largely based on research undertaken by David Weiss for the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). The inventory is structured around five categories which refer to a specific or several partnership phases. For example, tools are available that help donor agencies identify potential business partners, guidance for companies on how to assess and improve their social or environmental impact according to agreed standards,  and guidance on designing monitoring and evaluation systems.
