World Bank PPP Network

We are launching a new collaborative space for PPPs, it is now up and running in a bare-bones form and we will be launching it at PPP Days in Manila in March.

The site is:
www.pppnetwork.info
(if that doesn't work, this one should http://pppnetwork.ning.com/ )

The idea of this is that it provides a set of communities - one overall one and then sub-communities - that can form the platform for a broad range of knowledge management activities. We hope develop this into a platform where we post learning tools and products as well as stream web conferences and seminars. We are hoping to "scoop up" people from the various forums we have (both those who attended and invited) which will form a good base for all of our work on PPPs.

Of course we are also keen to develop this with everyone's feedback.
We do expact large number of around 600 public sector offcials (who are in our database) working in PPP related areas in developing countries to join the platform.

We are also looking for experts to play a more significant role in management of this platform, let me know if you are interested in this.
