UN/ ECE - Guidelines on Governance in Public-Private Partnerships for Infrastructure Development (2005)
Improving governance can help maximize the benefits and minimize the risks in Public Private Partnerships. It requires governments to acquire new skills in public management and to establish new institutions and procedures. Governments will need to focus on supervision and regulation, rather than on direct ownership and controls. In addition to these new skills, new sources of expertise and qualifications are required to ensure that PPPs also contribute to sustainable development.
