| Summary: | This paper delineates the role of
government in Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) in the
telecommunication sector in the Republic of the Congo. PPPs
offer policy makers an opportunity to improve the delivery
of services and the management of facilities, and help to
mobilize private capital which in turn speeds up the
delivery of public infrastructure. Along with power and
transportation infrastructure projects, telecommunication
figures among the most growing area in PPP projects in
Africa. Nevertheless, fitting telecommunication projects
into a PPP model is challenging. In order to address these
challenges, this paper also summarizes the achievements in
Congo's economic infrastructure sector, the risks
allocated to the implementation of the project, and
recommends World Bank Group risk mitigation instruments. |
