THE PORT REFORM TOOL KIT

The World Bank published the third edition of the Port Reform Toolkit – highlighting, among others the transformation of ports in recent years and the emerging issues to address.

The Port Reform Toolkit is a comprehensive guide for implementing port reforms, published by the World Bank. It has evolved over two decades to address changing sectoral trends and is now in its third edition. The toolkit covers traditional private sector participation and explores new trends that will influence ports in the coming decades. It provides policymakers and industry professionals with tools to manage port reform and improvement processes effectively, balancing efficiency and equity, promoting sustainable development, and sharing risk effectively. The toolkit is available online and can adapt alongside the industry to provide a structured basis for reform in an increasingly complex operating environment.
