❑ Pro-poor PPPs should be designed to fit as much as possible into wider operational and financial systems. Practitioners should also link pro-poor components onto other PPP initiatives (e.g. requiring large private water concessions to also service poor communities, adding collection of recyclables to performance requirements of private waste contractors)
❑ Pro-poor PPPs should be designed as simply, practically and realistically as possible taking sustainability and real capacity levels (of all partners) into account
❑ Some pro-poor PPPs might need to be designed at a larger scale - involving more communities, or a number of projects - to achieve sufficient scale for private involvement and scale economies
❑ The practical demonstration effect - being able to see pro-poor PPPs working in practice - can play a major role on replication across local areas and countries
❑ Defining and monitoring indicators of a PPP can help to build project success over the longer term, especially if the indicators are designed taking sustainability into account, and a feedback mechanism is in place to receive such feedback and make the required adjustments
