Public-private partnerships (PPPs) provide a structured process for governments to assess infrastructure needs, attract private sector investment, and develop contracts to deliver projects. The process involves analyzing options, defining the transaction structure, marketing to investors, conducting a tender, and closing the deal. PPPs can make sense for all parties by bringing in private expertise and capital for public infrastructure while transferring appropriate risks to the private sector. The next presentation will discuss specific PPP cases that demonstrate how the model works in practice.
