Public Private Partnership (PPP) – Financing, Projects & Contracts

Introduction
PPPs have become more common not only in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, as governments are eager to leverage scarce public funds, but have also seen a rise in developing countries over the last two decades. More than 134 developing countries apply PPPs, contributing about 15–20 percent of total infrastructure investment.
Widely utilized because of their purported advantages in off-budget funding, anticipated efficiency gains, and improved service quality, PPPs are a mechanism that governments regularly turn to in fulfilling their responsibilities regarding public infrastructure and service, a phenomenon increasingly taking hold in developing countries
