❑ As pro-poor PPPs are a new concept, even more guidance is needed on how to define the 'private' part and on operationalising PPPs
❑ Having several basic practical models of how pro-poor PPPs can be structured in priority basic service areas could help to widen understanding and facilitate implementation
❑ The local service industry should always be analysed carefully before PPPs are initiated to be aware of possible impacts
❑ PPP experts should be used more often for helping to design possible pro-poor PPP projects
❑ When formulating pro-poor PPPs attention should always be given to the underlying factors which drive their effectiveness - such as risk and incentive sharing, effective regulation and so on
