What are PPPs?
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are a mechanism for government to procure and implement public infrastructure and/or services using the resources and expertise of the private sector. Where governments are facing ageing or lack of infrastructure and require more efficient services, a partnership with the private sector can help foster new solutions and bring finance.

What are public-private partnerships?
There is no standard, internationally-accepted definition of a PPP. The term is used to describe a wide range of types of agreements between public and private sector entities, and different countries have adopted different definitions as their PPP programs evolved. Typically a PPP is a long-term contract between a private party and a government entity, for providing a public asset or service, in which the private party bears significant risk and management responsibility.
