PPIAF Annual Report  
PPIAF continues its strategic focus on Sub-Saharan Africa, directing its greatest-ever amount of funding to the region in fiscal 2009. The region’s 32 new activities received PPIAF grants totaling US$7.6 million, roughly 50 percent of the US$15.3 million in country- and region-specific commitments for fiscal 2009 (up from 45 percent in fiscal 2008). PPIAF's Annual Report is now available on-line. Hard copies are available upon request, please contact us at ppiaf@ppiaf.org. 

Managing Contingent Liabilities in Public-Private Partnerships 
What is the best way to apportion risks between governments and the
private sector and how are these risks valued, disclosed, and monitored? How can governments manage the risks they take on? These critical questions were the topic of discussion at a recent PPIAF-sponsored event to present the study “Managing Contingent Liabilities in Public-Private Partnerships: Practice in Australia, Chile, and South Africa.” Learn more.

Dakar-Diamniadio Toll Highway
