By the early 2000s, traffic in Senegal’s capital city of Dakar had become unbearable. A skyrocketing number of vehicles strained the city’s infrastructure, and traffic jams choked not only the major road into and out of town but also the region’s economic growth. A new highway that would ease road congestion had been planned decades earlier but had been shelved because of the cost, complexity, and difficulty of financing. Abdoulaye Wade, elected president in 2000, sought a new solution: a public–private partnership.

The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, a territory not incorporated of the United States, through the Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority (PRHTA) and Autopistas Metropolitanas of Puerto Rico, LLC established the first highway public-private partnership (PPP) in the island under Act No. 29 of June 8, 2009, known as the Puerto Rico Public-Private Alliance Law.

The new maintenance facility provides maintenance, repair, and additional storage for GO Trains and support GO Transit's planned service expansions.    

To select the best procurement approach for the project, a value for money (VFM) assessment was completed by independent financial advisor, which compared the DBFOM P3 procurement to a traditional Design-Bid-Build (DBB) procurement.

The global movement for the transformation of governance has brought about sundry innovations in public administration. One of such innovations is the Public-Private Partnership (PPP), which is fast becoming an attractive menu in the list of global best practices. The initiative recognises the potency of the private sector in the good governance project, and therefore seeks to encourage the synergy between the private sector and the public sector for improved service delivery.

Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) has been Jordan’s principal domestic and international airport since it was built in 1983, handling more than 97% of the country’s air traffic. But QAIA was built at a time when air traffic and passenger numbers were low and sustained growth of 7% per year since 2000 meant the airport could simply not meet the demand. So in 2007, the government looked to partner with the private sector to expand and rehabilitate the airport, including constructing a new 900,000-square foot terminal, and asked IFC for help.

The Government of Ukraine has awarded HPC Ukraina a contract to expand the capacity of the Container Terminal Odessa (CTO), located at the state-owned Odessa Sea Commercial Port (OSCP), the largest seaport in Ukraine and one of the largest on the Black Sea. The total container capacity of all Ukrainian ports is 2,250,000 TEUs; the CTO extension will add another 700,000 TEUs, significantly raising the international transport capacity of the coun - try.

Lagos is the commercial hub of the nation with 90% of the containerised cargo going through the Lagos ports. The Lagos container terminals are vital for the following reasons:

• Lagos is a state with the highest GDP per capita and highest population density in Nigeria

• The state is a highly urbanised commercial hub and nerve center of the nation

• 70% of global seaborne trade is Containerised Cargo

• Strong historical growth in containerised cargo and positive prospects for the future

Public-private partnership (concession) agreements for Indian airports, including:

• Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi
• Mumbai International Airport Private Ltd., Mumbai
• Bangalore International Airport Limited
• Hyderabad International Airport Limited

This guide is primarily intended for technical officials in developing country governments looking to understand the potential traffic risk in highway PPP projects, how it can affect the viability of projects, and the actions they can take to maximize project success.
