PPPs allow government to concentrate on its role as service provider, as opposed to developer

29.  All governments have limited resources, not only financially but also in terms of human resources, political capital and the ability to manage multiple competing priorities. Developing infrastructure is a complex and lengthy process that places demands on these resources. Procuring by PPP relieves government of some of the burden of acting as developer and allows a greater focus on core roles and responsibilities. For instance, PPPs allow governments to focus on the provision of health care or education, not the construction of hospitals and schools.
