Summary: | What transforms a desirable project on a
government wish list to an attractive investment opportunity
in the eyes of a potential private sector partner? This
guide seeks to enhance the chances of developing effective
partnerships between the public and the private sectors by
addressing one of the main obstacles to the effective
delivery of public-private partnership (PPP) projects:
having the right information on the right project for the
right partners at the right time. Data from the World Bank
and the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility
(PPIAF) private participation in infrastructure (PPI)
project database indicate that private sector investment in
infrastructure in developing economies grew steadily over
the past decade. By 2007 the levels had finally surpassed
the peak levels seen in 1997, the end of the previous growth
spurt. This guide focuses specifically on what should be
done, and when, in order to prepare projects to attract the
right long-term private partners, procure their involvement,
and manage the partnership. This guide is not a detailed
project preparation manual; rather, it seeks to provide an
overview of the process and what is involved so that greater
realism can be applied to this challenging task and adequate
resource plans can be developed. |
