The note links the various public-private options with appropriate World Bank Group instruments, including project-specific, sector-wide, and broader interventions. The note is organized into three sections: (1) a context and background section, summarizing the sector and institutional considerations that require a coherent Bank Group response; (2) a sector reform strategies section focusing on financial sustainability, public and private roles, establishing regulatory frameworks, access by the poor, environmental sustainability, and domestic financial markets; and (3) a section on strategies for Bank Group interventions, complemented by a matrix at the end of the note.
