Increasingly, PPP programmes are being established by governments across the world as a means to deliver and maintain infrastructure, as well as to deliver other assets and services. Common themes encountered include:
• the need for the public sector to reduce the cost of building and maintaining infrastructure assets without negatively impacting on the quality of public sector services;
• the need to accelerate delivery of both greenfield and rehabilitation infrastructure and the expansion of brownfield infrastructure; and
• the ability to benefit from private sector expertise in delivering innovative technologies and services.
