PPP (Public Private Partnership)

Course Introduction

Public Private Partnership (PPP) market is gaining ground successfully over decades. The way to build true partnerships between the public and private sector is to help countries fill the infrastructure gap by accessing more private capital and expertise. PPP improve efficiency and service delivery to users and gain access to new expertise and technology, reducing annual costs of infrastructure to the government, and freeing up the fiscal space.

PPP can mobilize private sector investment and expertise to provide much-needed infrastructure and public services. It can transform government departments and contracting authorities from being owners and operators of assets into knowledgeable purchasers of services from the private sector. However, with more than 110 countries competing for PPP funding and expertise, success depends on the development of public and private sector capacity and understanding of PPP.
