PPPs as remedy for budget constrains
Characteristic challenges for government:
1. Public pressure for lower prices leads to loss-making
ventures
2. Inefficient spending and budget shortfalls
3. Inability to keep pace with developments
Relationships with private-sector partners :
• mispricing, cost overruns, and lack of transparency
minimized through private sector governing principles.
• Access to investment funds and innovative financing
•Robust investment sources enable adjustment of services in
terms of supply and geographic scope
•Private-sector organizations can attract and offer new services.
How PPPs fuel development

the economy
2. Bring capital into the market while creating long-term
employment.
3. Share international business practices and standards
4. Supporting local business development - forward and backward
linkages, especially important with small, medium and microenterprises
5. Developing human capital
Providing training and health benefits in the workplace and along
the corporate supply chain

From telecommunications and transport to legal and financial
frameworks

environmental and other locally applicable technologies
8. Providing goods and services

communities in the case of basic goods and services, such as
medicines, energy, water and credit
Standards of living
•PPPs foster service expansion - incentive to invest more
resources to expand services and improve customer service
