The Port Reform Toolkit(2nd Edition) is aimed to provide policymakers and practitioners with effective decision support in undertaking sustainable and well-considered reforms of public institutions that provide, direct, and regulate port services in developing countries.
With the support of the PPIAF (Public Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility) and the World Bank, PMAESA organised in January 2002 a regional workshop in Mauritius on the dissemination of the Port Reform Toolkit.

Questionnaire

PMAESA organised a survey on the restructuring of ports in Eastern and Southern Africa, aiming at identifying which type of entity was responsible for the various port functions, in order to determine the scope of private sector participation in the ports of the region. The responses from the ports have been summarised in the following document: Port restructuring in Eastern and Southern Africa Questionnaire on Private sector participation in PMAESA ports
