A Public-Private partnership can only be successful if the public authorities play their role correctly. Inefficient organization in the management of these partnerships can result in substantial and unnecessary costs for the government developers, consumers and private partners.
IPFA’s Policy and Planning successful approach describes the public sector functions under PPP in order to ensure protection of the public interest. It also includes the definition of the PPP policy framework.
Besides, IPFA provides assistance to the public sector to prepare the appropriate national and subnational planning framework to give their PPP policy and projects the best chances of success. It introduces the national or macro level of planning for PPPs, the obligations they impose on the public sector in particular and the need for PPP planning and policy frameworks to facilitate implementation of PPP projects. IPFA provides public authorities with an important set of tools at the macro level before considering legal and contractual requirements and finally PPP implementation.
