The sector strategy and road map (updated based on the PPP option selection) outline the work to be done to create the enabling environment and structure the PPP transaction. In general, the preparatory work falls within the same categories as the sector diagnostic, and addresses the constraints identified through sector analysis:
• legal, regulatory, and policy frameworks;
• technical issues;
• institutional and capacity building; and
• commercial, financial, and economic issues.
The preparatory stage culminates in the achievement of an environment conducive to sustainable reform and in a well-defined, documented, and agreed-upon PPP process.
