Acknowledgments
We acknowledge the significant contributions made by Juan-Diego Alonso, Shaista Baksh,
Tazeen Fasih, John Fielden, Norman LaRocque, Michael Latham, Kevin Macdonald, Stefan
Metzger, Emilio Porta, and Yidan Wang. Fiona J. Mackintosh and Bruce Ross-Larson provided
excellent editing. The team received very useful feedback, guidance, and supervision
from Ruth Kagia and Robin Horn.
The peer reviewers, Svava Bjarnason, April Harding, Juan Manuel Moreno, and Alberto
Rodriguez, all gave excellent comments.
We received early feedback during an authors’ workshop in May 2008 from Raja
Bentaouet-Kattan, Erik Bloom, Marguerite Clarke, Ariel Fiszbein, Jay Kimmelman, Bruno
Laporte, Joy Phumaphi, Periklis Saragiotis, and Emiliana Vegas. In addition, thoughtful
comments were received at both the concept and final review stages from Helen Abadzi,
Jacob Bregman, Samuel Carlson, Elizabeth King, Mamta Murthi, Halsey Rogers, Adriaan
Verspoor, and Hana Yoshimoto.
The ongoing program on public-private partnerships is undertaken in collaboration
with teams across the World Bank Group and with partners in developing countries. We
are also collaborating with CfBT Education Trust, whose experts also work on this topic,
and with the World Economic Forum’s Global Education Initiative. In addition, we have
an international steering committee of experts, comprising current and former country
policymakers and representatives of multilateral organizations, such as the United Nations
Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
