Philippines: Public-Private Partnerships by Local Government Units

As local government units (LGUs) have strived to carry out the responsibilities and activities devolved to them by the 1991 Local Government Code, they have explored and availed of various financing options including grants, loans, bonds, and public–private partnership (PPP) arrangements. The Local Government Code specifically authorized LGUs with financially viable infrastructure projects to enter into build–operate– transfer (BOT) agreements subject to the 1990 BOT Law and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRRs).

Dans les pays en développement, les autorités publiques de l’eau doivent relever un redoutable défi : honorer leur obligation de fournir des services de distribution d’eau aux habitants des zones rurales isolées, des zones périurbaines et des petites villes. Ainsi, même dans les pays où le secteur de l’eau a été décentralisé, les communautés locales ont de plus en plus tendance ces dernières années à passer des accords avec des opérateurs privés pour assurer la fourniture de services de distribution d’eau de petite envergure. On reconnaît aujourd’hui que les opérateurs privés sont peut-être mieux placés pour assurer ces services dans des localités isolées, car ils sont plus près des sites d’intervention et potentiellement mieux à même de rendre compte de leur gestion aux usagers. Les opérateurs locaux privés ont parfois aussi la possibilité de mobiliser des sources de financement supplémentaires, aux conditions du marché.
