2. Definition of PPP
• Public private partnerships (PPPs) are agreements between
government and the private sector for the purpose of providing
public infrastructure, community facilities and related services.
• The private sector enter into a contract with government for the
design, delivery, and operation of the facility or infrastructure and
the services provided.
• The private sector finance the capital investment and recover the
investment over the course of the contract.
• The asset transfers back to the public sector at the end of the
contract.
3. Why Should Governments Consider PPP?
Governments look to the private sector for other reasons:
• Exploring PPPs as a way of introducing private sector technology and
innovation in providing better public services through improved
operational efficiency.
• Incentivizing the private sector to deliver projects on time and within
budget
• Imposing budgetary certainty by setting present and the future costs
of infrastructure projects over time.
• Utilizing PPPs as a way of developing local private sector capabilities
through joint ventures with large international firms, as well as sub-
contracting opportunities for local firms in areas such as civil works,
electrical works, facilities management, security services, cleaning
services, maintenance services
• Using PPPs as a way of gradually exposing state owned enterprises
and government to increasing levels of private sector participation
(especially foreign) and structuring PPPs in a way so as to ensure
transfer of skills leading to national champions that can run their own
operations professionally and eventually export their competencies by
bidding for projects/ joint ventures
