India: Building capacities for public private partnerships

The report reviews the international experience in developing capacities for PPPs, particularly on how capacities for identifying, procuring and managing PPPs are developed and could be further developed in India. A particular focus is the possible role of the central government in developing these capacities. The report looks at both organizational and individual capacities, the former including policy and legal frameworks, and institutions and processes. This report focuses on projects where private investment has been made, and where the government is either the purchaser of services under the project, or where it provides a financial contribution through direct investment or through risk bearing. The main sectors of focus are transportation (ports, airports, roads, and rail), water and sanitation and other urban infrastructure (solid waste management, light rail, bus terminals).
