Public-Private Partnerships

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a way to leverage private financing and know-how to deliver development solutions. Structured as long-term contractual arrangements, PPPs can be used to help governments make the most of scarce public funding by leveraging additional private finance for investment in infrastructure and harnessing private-sector innovation and efficiency for quality service delivery. Results-based approaches can add value to PPPs by ensuring that finance flowing from the private sector reaches those most in need. GPRBA has supported a number of projects that incorporate RBF into a larger PPP scheme.
