9. P3s are contractual agreements between a public
agency and a private entity that allow for greater
private participation in the delivery of financing of
projects
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are contracts between
the public sector and private sector. These necessitate
new or improved investments by the private sector.
This is in most cases in terms of money, expertise,
reputation, knowledge, infrastructure development etc).
There is transfer of key risks to the private sector and
payments are made in terms of performance for the
purpose of delivering a service traditionally provided by
the public sector (WB, 2011).
10. Public/private partnerships are considered
“creative alliances” formed between a
government entity and private developers to
achieve a common purpose. Other actors have
joined such partnerships—including
nongovernmental institutions, such as health
care providers and educational institutions;
nonprofit associations, such as community-
based organizations; and intermediary groups,
such as business improvement districts. Citizens
and neighborhood groups also have a stake in
the process (Friedman, 2016).
11. Provision of services in an urban setting
By 2030, urban populations worldwide are
expected to grow by 1.4 billion people, with city
and town dwellers accounting for 60% of the total
world population. By 2050 this figure is expected
to reach 2.6 billion.
In an increasingly urbanized world, it will be
crucial to ensure that public services in urban
areas deliver for poor people as well as the wider
population, and it is now well known that
governance factors are important in constraining
or enabling effective service delivery.
12. Delivering better value for the public money
Eg price and quality in the provision of goods
and services---but we should guard against
manipulation
Technology transfer: This is a major
limitation in a public sector alone. There is a
need for knowledge based economy policies
Additionality. More public service and
consumer welfare benefits available in a PPP
project than without
13. Avoided public financing and borrowing:
Many governments would want to be out of
debts. This is a priority for many
governments but risks entering in a PPP are
also unavoidable
Contracted outputs and improved
transparency. Resistance to new moving
discretion from some public stakeholders
Providing checks and balances in the public
sector. This may address issues of lack of
accountability mechanisms and corruption
14. A sign of a progressive and global village. We
need to move forward…..be like others and
engage with the rest
Increasing efficiency and effectiveness in
urban service delivery
Increased stakeholder involvement and
enabling environment for participation
Building lasting relations between the public
and the private-commitment and trust
