❑ Further strategies to increase private sector involvement at all levels in PPP initiatives should be developed
❑ PPP initiatives should be careful not to be (or to be seen to be) dominated by one partner. This needs careful balancing of all interests
❑ At local level, practitioners should treat private sector involvement in two-stages (associations involved in the initially conceptualisation and design stages; individual businesses involved through competitive tendering once specific projects are identified)
❑ A good strategy seems to be to focus on more commercially viable PPP projects initially (with indirect poor benefits) to increase private sector involvement, confidence and experience, and follow this with more explicitly pro-poor PPPs
❑ When designing and implementing PPPs, the private partner should always be required to take on risk and where appropriate responsibility for financial investment
❑ Government (all levels) has a major role to put clear, unambiguous and enabling policies, laws and directives in place. Simply creating such enabling conditions can play a major role in bringing the private sector - 'when there are real opportunities the private sector will come'
