An Operational Framework for Managing Fiscal Commitments from Public-Private Partnerships - The Case of Ghana by Riham Shendy, Helen Martin, and Peter Mousley, World Bank 2013

This report proposes an operational framework for managing fiscal obligations arising from public-private partnerships (PPPs) in Ghana. This framework aims to ensure that PPP fiscal commitments are consistently identified and assessed during PPP project preparation, and that these assessments are fed into project approval. The framework will also ensure that PPP fiscal commitments are monitored, reported on, and budgeted for appropriately over the lifetime of PPP projects. To that end, the report outlines roles and responsibilities, concepts, and processes for managing PPP fiscal commitments, drawing on international standards and practices, bearing in mind existing institutions and capacities in Ghana. The report also suggests legislative additions and capacity building needed to establish this framework in practice.
