Disagreements over PPP risk allocation can lead to negative outcomes in tendering, negotiation, construction and operation phases. The Infrastructure Referee Program provides a “third party opinion” to public and private parties to help them resolve such kinds of disagreements. The AP3F funds qualified consultants, called “Infrastructure Referees,” who are tasked with conducting due diligence on both parties’ positions, studies, data, and documents, and deliver their recommendation to both parties with the objective of achieving a clear and balanced risk allocation. The solution(s) proposed by the Infrastructure Referees will be impartial and fully independent.

The benefits derived from the program are (a) it surgically targets critical bankability challenges seen occurring over large number of PPP transactions before financial close, and (b) channels resources to address potentially contentious contractual disputes.
