Most local governments have adopted plans, policies and procedures as well as the organizational resources and support required for the delivery of services. A critical component of effective service delivery is the clear identification of roles and responsibilities for specific services.
Local governments will need to prepare for the unique requirements of public private partnerships. This does not necessarily mean increasing the size or the complexity of the organization or changing the way in which local government presently makes decisions on service delivery. Rather, it means making the necessary adjustments to existing processes and arrangements for effective public private partnerships.
