Purpose
Public-Private Partnership (PPP) for development is a type of collaboration between the public sector (government) and private sector (businesses and organizations) to achieve common development goals. This can include projects such as infrastructure development, social services, and community development. PPPs are designed to leverage the strengths of both the public and private sectors to address complex development challenges and improve the delivery of goods and services to the public.
PPPs can take many forms and structures, such as concession agreements, service contracts, joint ventures, and lease arrangements. They can be used for the provision of new infrastructure, or for the improvement and maintenance of existing infrastructure.
Course Objectives
The main objectives of PPPs for development are:
- To provide better and more efficient delivery of goods and services to the public
- To leverage private sector expertise, resources, and innovation to address complex development challenges
- To mobilize private capital, including foreign direct investment, to support development projects
- To transfer risks to the private sector, where they can be managed more effectively
- To promote sustainable development and sustainable public services
- To improve the accountability and transparency of public services
Duration: 10 Days
