PPP in Health

A range of approaches to healthcare PPPs has emerged. The UK range was the leading proponent of hospital facility PPPs under its PFI Initiative, focusing on development/ rehabilitation of facilities and facilities management. A number of countries have followed a similar approach to hospital PPPs, focusing on facilities, including Australia (below) where a number of states continue to follow this approach.

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) PPPs

While municipalities are generally responsible for solid waste services, the private sector has long been involved in the municipal solid waste sector through outsourcing arrangements and informally through waste picking and sorting. Recent trends in involvement of the private sector in the municipal solid waste sector in developing countries are partly driven by more stringent environmental standards and the recognition that the private sector can play a significant role in improving environmental and hygiene issues around solid waste collection and disposal.
