Making The Most Of Privatization And Public Private Partnerships
The concepts of Privatization and Public-Private Partnership were driven by limitations in
public funds to cover investments needs but also by efforts to increase the quality and
efficiency of public services. However, as the demand for infrastructure grows and access to
resources has become limited, the public sector has increasingly looked to the private sector
to provide financial resources, innovation, and technical expertise for the ef
fective
management of such projects. PPPs can be quite complex, involving many different
participants including government, private sector experts, financiers and customers, each
having a different perspective,which is not always fully understood by the other participants.
This programme is designed to provide a better understanding of how to facilitate credible private sector involvement with and participation in the delivery of public goods and services with the construction, implementation, ownership and operation of public facilities.
