GOVERNANCE CHALLENGE

PPP projects must contribute to sustainable development and protection of the environment as a key priority. This must be achieved by balancing the public's current needs with the responsibility towards future generations. Responsibility of PPP projects often rests with the economy, finance and transport ministries, rather than the environment ministries. These ministries tend not to be well versed in environmental issues, whilst the environment ministries often lack the understanding of the economic and business basis of PPP projects.
