2.4.1. What advantages PPPs may provide?

Governments worldwide have increasingly turned to the private sector to provide infrastructure services in energy and power, communication, transport and water sectors that were once delivered by the public sector. There are several reasons for the growing collaboration with the private sector in developing and providing infrastructure services, which include:

♤ Increased efficiency in project delivery, and operation and management;

♤ Availability of additional resources to meet the growing needs of investment in the sector; and

♤ Access to advanced technology (both hardware and software).
