Document Summary:

This publication has been prepared to contribute to and stimulate discussions on public-private partnerships (PPPs) as well as to foster the diffusion of best practices in this area. Policy-makers and project procuring authorities make reference to a range of motivations to justify the use of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). This report seeks to identify the key motivations that have been used in communicating the rationale to use PPPs. This may be helpful for those seeking to establish, expand or improve their PPP programmes. Similarly, identifying the challenges in implementing PPPs can help to address the potential limits to their delivery. The report identifies the main challenges for the public sector and proposes some of the approaches to deal with them.
