Document Summary:

The 10 cases that are the subject of this study are intended to give public-sector policymakers in sub-Saharan Africa an insight into the many practical policy issues that arise in real-world PPP projects. 

Document Details:

These Case Studies are a mixture of success and failure, and lessons can be learned from both. But they have all been successes in the sense that they resulted in investments in public infrastructure that most probably would not otherwise have taken place at the time they did, if at all. In each of the case studies it is worth considering the counterfactual: what would have happened if a PPP had not been used to build this project? Would it have been possible for the public sector to build it? Would it have been built quicker by the public sector? Would it have been cheaper? Would the final result have been better?
