PPP laws in Africa: confusing or clarifying?

Many African governments demonstrate a willingness to effectively train their staff, to develop tools to facilitate transactions, and to draft model contracts. But these measures do not suffice. Above all, States must focus on building a pipeline of bankable and socially conscious projects with which to appetize investors. Governments must also clearly delineate the roles and responsibilities of all participating stakeholders: public institutions, contracting authorities, and PPP units; and they must ensure that these stakeholders are empowered to deliver projects.
