Commitments

The facilitation process should lead, ideally, to commitments from public- and private-sector entities. The commitments process may involve a public review process.

The commitments process should seek to answer several key questions:

•  Which parts of the government are going to commit resources to a PPP? At what scale?

•  Which private-sector corporations are willing to commit resources? At what scale?

•  Which private-sector corporations will make for stable, functional partners?

•  Are there second-round partners who might be interested in partnering only after pilot projects have proven successful?
