Determining a partner's commitment to a given PPP is not a strictly quantitative process. There are a few key questions you should ask to ascertain a partner's level of commitment.
• Is this partner ready to spend the capital-both financial and human-necessary to bring the PPP to fruition?
• Have funds been committed? How much has been apportioned for the project? Are those funds conditional on certain terms?
• What opposition exists within the institution and beyond?
• What other stakeholders are relevant to the problem? Are there non-partner stakeholders whose commitment is relevant? Do these stakeholders compromise or increase overall credibility?
