The Guidelines introduce USP-specific processes, regulations and institutions to ensure that privately initiated PPP projects are subject to equal or higher standards as publicly initiated PPPs. The USP policy frameworks should integrate seamlessly with PPP policies; public investment requirements; fiscal management processes; national infrastructure planning; environmental and social sustainability requirements; and climate-change and development goals. Adopting a higher standard for implementing USPs helps prevent them from being used to circumvent project checks and balances or fiscal constraints.
