5.2 Ex-post evaluation

The detailed ex-post evaluation of PPPs involves the two steps summarised in Chart 12. A sound evaluation of a PPP project requires the public sector to:

□  identify the public body that will undertake the review of a particular PPP project;

□  ensure the independence of that body vis-à-vis the teams responsible for implementing and managing the PPP contract; and

□  define the questions that need to be answered in the evaluation exercise.

The rest of this section describes these aspects and their rationale in more detail and suggests relevant examples of ex-post evaluations for further reading.
