Numerous scholars believe that implementing PPP can enhance the efficiency of infrastructure delivery. This study seeks to examine the current status of PPP initiatives and the research challenges related to PPP infrastructure projects. The goal is to achieve improved project completion and decreased delays in infrastructure projects by incorporating time-to-completion as a performance metric, thereby impacting profitability. Additionally, this paper addresses the role of the current government in infrastructure development. Introduction According to the Indian government, PPP involves an agreement between a government or government-owned entity and a private sector entity for providing public assets or services for public benefit. This arrangement involves private sector investments or management for a specific period, with shared risks and performance-based payments tied to predefined standards. Governments typically set broad objectives for PPP programs, such as attracting private finance for infrastructure, promoting cost-effective approaches, improving service quality, accessing ‘management expertise through private operation, ensuring value for money, enhancing accountability, fostering innovation and efficiency, and driving economic growth. PPP is characterized by private capital and management infusion into traditionally government-provided services, with risk transfer to the private sector. The goal is to deliver high-quality and efficient services while benefiting the public and contributing to economic development and improved quality of life. Different types of PPPs exist for various infrastructure needs, reflecting governments’ diverse requirements, Economic liberalization in India since the 1990s shifted the government's role| PUBLIC | PPP EAE | from provider to facilitator, initially through privatization and later through the adoption of PPP based on international experiences. Challenges to privatizat n included the private sector's focus on economic infrastructure over social infrastructure and the high costs associated with economic infrastructure provision. Emergence of PPP PPPs started gaining prominence as a way to access private sector funds and expertise in ‘managing infrastructure investments. This approach was used to continue projects that had been privatized and to overcome challenges in cases where privatization was not feasible. The emotional well-being spectrum encompasses positive feelings ranging from satisfaction to profound happiness PPP Models PPP arrangements involve identifying risks and distributing them among the involved parties, leading to the design of various PPP models. These models vary based on how risks are allocated, with different projects implementing different variants of PPP models primarily differentiated by their risk allocation frameworks. Here are the fundamental PPP models commonly used in project development. 1, Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT): The BOT scheme refers to the initial concession by a public entity such asa local government to a private firm to both build and operate the project in question. After a set time frame, typically two o three decades, control over the project is returned to the public entity. Build: The private sector entity designs, finances, and constructs the infrastructure or facility. Operate: After completion, the private entity operates and maintains the infrastructure for a specified period (often several years). ‘Transfer: At the end of the concession period, ownership and operation usually transfer back to the public sector. 2, Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT): The private-sector partner is granted authorization to finance, design, build, and operate an infrastructure component (and toPPPHES charge user fees) for a specific period, after which ownership is transferred back to the public-sector partner. Build: Private sector constructs the infrastructure ass (Own: Private partner owns and operates the asset during the concession period. Operate: Responsible for operations, maintenance, and revenue generation. ‘Transfer: Ownership or control transfers back to the public sector after the concession ends. 3. Build-Own-Operate (BOO): The private-sector partner is responsible for financing, constructing, owning, and managing the infrastructure component indefinitely. The limitations for the public-sector partner are outlined in the initial agreement and are also regulated continuously. Build: Similar to BOT, the private entity finances and constructs the infrastructure. Own: Unlike BOT, the private entity retains ownership of the infrastructure throughout the concession period. Operate: The private entity operates and maintains the infrastructure for the agreed-upon period, generating revenue from its use. 4, Design-Build (DB): The private-sector partner designs and builds the infrastructure to meet the public-sector partner's specifications, often for a fixed price. The private-sector partner assumes all risk. 5. Operation & Maintenance Contract (0 & M): The pi contract, operates a publicly-owned asset fora specific period. The public partner retains ate-sector partner, under ownership of the assets. 6. Design-Build-Finance-Operate (DBFO): ‘The private-sector partner is tasked with designing, funding, and building a new infrastructure element, which they then operate and maintain through a lengthy lease agreement. Upon the lease's expiration, the private-sector partner transfers ownership of the infrastructure component to the public-sector partner. Design-Build: The private entity is responsible for designing and constructing the infrastructure.| PUBLIC | PPP EAE | Finance: The private entity provides financing for the project. Operate: After completion, the private entity operates and maintains the infrastructure for a specified period. This model combines construction, financing, and operation responsibilities within a single contract. 7, Joint Ventures: Public-private joint ventures entail collaboration between government agencies and private companies to establish new entities or partnerships for specific projects or ventures, Joint ventures combine resources, expertise, and risk-sharing to pursue shared objectives, such as technology development, research initiatives, or market expansion. 8, Equity Partnerships: In equity partnerships, private investors or consortiums acquire equity stakes in public infrastructure projects or ventures, participating in project financing, management decisions, and revenue-sharing arrangements. Equity partnerships align interests, incentivize performance, and allocate risks and rewards based on investment contributions and project outcomes. Evolution of PPP in Indi ‘The history of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in India can be traced back to private investments in Indian railways during the late 1800s, particularly with significant British investments in ensured railways by 1875. Another notable early PPP involvement was seen in the power sector in Kolkata and Mumbai during the mid-1900s, with companies like the Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation and Tata Hydroelectric Power Supply Company playing key roles. However, a more structured approach to PPPs began in 1991 when the Central government allowed private participation in the power sector, leading to the emergence of independent power producers. Subsequent amendments to legislation, such as the National Highways Act in 1998, further facilitated private involvement. In 1994, licenses were granted to cellular telephone operators through a competitive bidding process.pwpeveuc PPPEA: ‘The real shift in PPPs came with the establishment of the Infrastructure Development Finance ‘Company (IDFC) in 1997, initiated by then Finance Minister P Chidambaram. This marked a concerted effort by the government to leverage private expertise, capital, and management skills for infrastructure development. Several legislative changes followed, including the Electricity ‘Act of 2003, amendments to the National Highways Authority of India Act, the Special Economic Zone Act of 2005, and the Land Acquisition Bill, among others. Various funding sources, such as the Asian Development Bank, Viability Gap Funding, India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited, and India Infrastructure Project Development Fund, contributed to advancing PPP projects. Key government bodies like the Prime ‘Minister’s office, the Planning Commi: n of India, and the Department of Economic Affairs played active roles in promoting PPPs, Several states, including Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Punjab, Delhi, and Andhra Pradesh, showed enthusiasm for PPP projects. From 1997 to 2016, PPPs in India witnessed significant growth, with the current NDA government showing strong support for further developing PPPs. The success of PPPs is evident from the increasing interest and involvement of the government in fostering such partnerships. In terms of sectors, roads and highways have been a major focus for PPPs, with several projects awarded to private companies using models like Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT). Similarly, railways, power, urban infrastructure, ports, and airports have seen substantial PPP investments. However, social infrastructure sectors like education and health have relatively fewer PPP projects, indicating room for further development in these areas. ‘There isa significant demand for investments in aviation infrastructure, with both passenger and cargo traffic projected to grow at high Compound Annual Growth Rates (CAGRs) in the coming years. Currently, private Indian airlines like Sahara, Jet Airways, SpiceJet, and Kingfisher contribute to about 60% of domestic passenger traffic. ‘To meet global standards, the governments prioritizing the development and modernization of airports| PUBLIC PPPEA: On the other hand, while economic infrastructure projects have seen success in publi private partnerships (PPPs), the same cannot be said for social infrastructure projects. There is substantial potential for PPPs in sectors such as education and health. However, data shows that these sectors have a limited number of projects and lower value in PPP participation compared to other sectors, highlighting the need for more focus and investment in social infrastructure partnerships. Conceptual Framework of PPP PPPs require comprehensive management across various areas such as political, fiscal, financial, and social aspects, necessitating a systematic approach to establish PPPs asa regular choice for suitable projects. Similar to any long-term goal or action, a framework is essential for programmatic actions or approaches.

Let's delve into successful projects, reasons for their success, and future policy recommendations. Successful PPP Projects by Sector: Highways: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) leverages the ‘Toll Operate ‘Transfer (TOT) model extensively. ‘The Golden Quadrilateral project, connecting major cities, exemplifies success, Clear risk allocation, efficient project design, and strong regulatory framework contributed to its timely completion and improved connectivity. Case Study: The Mumbai-Pune Expressway ‘The Mumbai-Pune Expressway project was structured as a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) concession. The MSRDC awarded the concession to a consortium led by IRB Infrastructure Developers Limited, a private sector entity with experience in infrastructure development and toll road management. The concession agreement outlined the responsibilities, rights, and obligations of both the public and private sectors. - Reasons for Success: Effective risk sharing between the government and private stakeholders, effi int project management, and timely completion. - Future Policy Recommendations: Streamline approval processes, ensure transparency in bidding, and prioritize maintenance and sustainal Power sector Case Study: Mundra Ultra Mega Power Project ‘The Mundra UMPP was structured as a Build-Own-Operate (BOO) PPP model. C awarded the project through a competitive bidding process conducted by the Power Finance PL was| PPPHES Corporation (PFC), a government agency. The concession agreement outlined CGPL's responsibilities for financing, constructing, owning, and operating the power plant. - Reasons for Succes : Clear government policies, long-term power purchase agreements, and innovative financing models. - Future Policy Recommendations: Address challenges related to land acquisition and environmental clearances, promote renewable energy projects, and ensure fair tariff structures, Urban Infrastructure: Case Study: Delhi Metro Rail Corporation DMRC entered into concession agreements with private sector entities for various aspects of the project, including construction, operation, maintenance, and fare collection. Private sector partners, including domestic and international companies with expertise in infrastructure development, engineering, and transportation, were involved in different phases of the project. - Reasons for Success: Strong leadership, innovative funding mechanisms, and effective project management. - Future Policy Recommendations: Encourage more investment in urban infrastructure, promote integrated public transport systems, and prioritize last-mile connectivity. Healthcare: Case Study: Public-Private Partnership in Healthcare in Rajasthan, Limited healthcare infrastructure, shortage of medical professionals, and low access to essential healthcare services were among the key challenges in Rajasthan. To address these issues, the government of Rajasthan explored PPPs asa strategy to leverage private sector expertise, resources, and innovation in healthcare delivery| PPP EAS | - Reasons for Success: Collaborative approach between government and private healthcare providers, focus on improving access to healthcare in rural areas, and leveraging technology. - Future Policy Recommendations: Expand PPP models to other states, ensure quality standards and affordability, and incentivize private sector participation in healthcare delivery. Education: Case Study: Akshaya Patra Mid-Day Meal Program ‘The Akshaya Patra Foundation‘ Mid-Day Meal Program in India can be categorized as a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with clements of philanthropic collaboration and government support. This program involves a partnership between the Akshaya Patra Foundation, a non-profit organization, and various government entities at the state and central levels. - Reasons for Success: Public-private collaboration, scalability, and focus on social impact. - Future Policy Recommendations: Expand PPP models to improve education infrastructure, enhance teacher training programs, and ensure quality education outcomes Airport Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) is classic case study.

"| PUBLIC | PPP EAE | By incorporating these recommendations, India can further leverage PPPs to unlock its infrastructure potential and deliver high-quality services across various sectors. Disadvantages/risks involved in PPP model Recent studies indicate that while public-private partnerships (PPPs) are widely utilized to leverage the strengths of both public and private entities for tackling contemporary challenges and fostering growth, they also pose higher risks compared to alternative project models. © Contract ‘The studies analyzed indicate that challenges related to contracts pose significant obstacles in PPPs.Three main contractual risks were studied, namely negotiation, incompleteness, And contractual design. In negotiation scenarios, challenges can arise from various factors. These include extended negotiation periods, insufficient processes for reaching agreements, and discrepancies in the flow and completeness of information exchanged between parties. These challenges can hinder the effectiveness and efficiency of negotiations in reaching mutually beneficial outcomes.In PPPs, incomplete contracts are a significant challenge due to the long-term nature of partnerships. It's difficult to anticipate and include every detail or scenario in the contract, leading to uncertainties and the need for ongoing negotiation and adaptation as the partnership progresses In PPP contracts, contractual design plays a vital role. Th cludes addressing issues like unclear terms, limited flexibility for adjustments, inadequate details, and a lack of transparency in contractual content. Addressing these aspects is crucial for ensuring the effectiveness and transparency of PPP partnerships. © Resources: In PPPs, three main risks are financial constraints, staffing limitations, and time constraints. These challenges highlight the need for managing resources well to help partners work together effectively and overcome obstacles. Cost overruns can happen if initial costs are not estimated correctly, creating financial problems for PPP projects. The complexity of the PPP model itself can sometimes be a hurdle, Private players may also face difficulties in getting legal support for 12| PPPHES land or resource acquisitions. Having skilled and coordinated staff is crucial for project success, and differences in timeframes between partners can cause issues. Effective management of these challenges is vital for PPP projects to run smoothly. © Objectives: In PPPs, objectives include goals and plans for project outcomes. Risks include conflicting goals between the private sector's focus on short-term profit and the public sector's aim for long-term public welfare. Differing strategies between partners can make it hard to align efforts, leading to unclear goals and policies, and uncertainty about project success. Moreover, different mindsets and cultures of collaborative partners also lead to a conflictual situation © Structure: In PPPs, structural aspects involve how projects are organized and how partners work together efficiently, Risks include unclear roles and responsibilities, leading to challenges when partners have different expectations. Decision-making can be complex and inconsistent, with varying strategies among partners. Coordination issues arise from a lack of clear structures and differences in organizational and managerial styles among partners, These challenges can hinder project implementation and the partnership's overall vision. Commitment: Commitment in PPPs pertains to the extent to which individuals align with the PPP's objectives, their loyalty to the project, and their willingness to invest effort into it. The analysis identified risk factors related to individuals’ identification with the project and the engagement of partners. When partners fal to identify with the PPP, itcan lead to significant challenges, resulting in negative attitudes or pessimistic behaviors. Moreover, partners may prioritize serving their own interests over achieving the stated mutual objectives within the PPP. The second subfactor concerns partner engagement, encompassing risks such as lack of motivation, unwillingness to collaborate, and reluctance to take risks or invest. Active involvement throughout the project, particularly in the strategic process is crucial. A lack of commitment can significantly impact the project negatively. © Environment: 13| PUBLIC | PPP EAE | In the analysis, the environment in PPPs refers to external factors that impact the projects, beyond the control of PPP partners. Identified environmental risks include political risks, demand/revenue risks, risks associated with competition, and unforeseeable incidents.Unstable government and legal risks will pose major political risks for the PPP model. Unpredictable market conditions stand risky for the PPP model. Communication: Communication involves delivering pertinent information to the appropriate individual at the opportune moment. Three primary risks identified in communication include partner interaction, shared information, and timeliness of communication. Advantages of PPP An important benefit of utilizing the private sector to deliver public services is that it enables public administrators to focus on tasks such as planning, policy development, and regulation, Meanwhile, the private sector is entrusted to leverage its expertise, particularly in enhancing service efficiency and quality. ‘We discussed the risks of PPP before, yet PPP can serve as a better model for risk sharing. This risk sharing enables partners to mitigate risks efficiently without feeling the burden of mitigation due to shared risks. Private sector-financed PPPs enable the distribution of project costs for the public sector across an extended timeframe, aligning with anticipated benefits. Conventional procurement practices recognize the private sector's efficiency in outsourcing construction, maintenance, and design activities. PPPs further enhance private sector efficiency through their comprehensive lifecycle approach. ‘The lifecycle approach allows the private sector to achieve efficiencies in four ways- Work planning and organization: Long-term contracts in PPPs enable contractors to better plan and organize their work, improving scheduling and resource allocation flexibility. Optimization of lifecyde costs: Well-designed PPP contracts optimize lifecycle costs by considering construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance tasks over an extended period, 14PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP | allowing for balanced expendicure and effective trade-offs between investment, maintenance, and operation costs. Risk management: Proper tisk identification and allocation in PPP contracts contribute to better cost and deadline adherence compared to conventional contracts, as demonstrated by international experience. Innovation: The lifecycle approach of PPPs incentivizes contractors to innovate, leading to the development of alternative, more efficient solutions to meet performance requirements, Encourage public sector reform: APP program can serve asa catalyst for public-sector reform in several different ways. © Transparency and accountability: PPPs offer transparency by revealing the entire lifecycle cost of facilities, including operation and maintenance, thus forcing the public sector to make informed decisions about service delivery and payment methods. This transparency fosters accountability among public-sector officials who must justify their choices openly. However, to avai this advantage PPP should structured transparently. © Procurement skills: PPP processes enhance procurement skills in the public sector by necessitating clear and detailed specifications of requirements upfront, reducing the likelihood of cost overruns due to changing project scopes. Additionally, PPP negotiations prompt consideration of long-term service delivery, operation, and maintenance costs, fostering "joined-up thinking" in public-sector procurement. ‘¢ Management: PPPs enable the public sector to concentrate on regulatory functions like service planning and performance monitoring, reducing direct involvement in daily service delivery and simplifying management duties © Contestability: Select PPP initiatives can act as benchmarks for evaluating cost and service delivery, driving enhancements across public-sector procurement and service 15PEE HEE CEE PPP EES delivery practices, with some nations using PPPs explicitly for comparison with traditional procurement methods. Policy Recommendations and Government Policy and PPPs: a double-edged sword Clear legal framework, standardized procedures, and incentives are ensured through government policies thus government policy can play a critical role in shaping Public-Private Partnerships Government policies in place to support PPPs In India, government policies for regulating Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are overseen by various bodies. The PPPAC (Public Private Partnership Appraisal Committee) evaluates and appraises PPP projects to ensure their feasibility and alignment with national development goals, The India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited (IIFCL) provides financial assistance and advisory services for PPP projects, facilitating their implementation, Additionally, the National Institution for Transforming India (NITI Aayog) plays key role in policy formulation and coordination, driving initiatives to enhance PPP frameworks and promote infrastructure development across the country. These institutions collaborate to establish robust regulatory mechanisms and facilitate successfull PPP ventures in India Example of PPP Model Development of Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium Government would be responsible for land acquisition and clearanees. Recommendations © Clear Guidelines: Establish transparent and standardized guidelines for PPP projects to ensure consistency and accountability. ‘¢ Risk Management: Develop effective strategies for identifying, allocating, and mitigating risks to minimize uncertainties and ensure project success. © Stakeholder Engagement: Foster active participation and collaboration among all stakeholders, including government agencies, private sector partners, and local communities, to align interests and promote project success. 16P PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP | ‘* Performance Monitoring: Implement robust monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to track project performance, identify areas for improvement, and ensure accountability throughout the project lifecycle. Conclusion Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a significant mechanism for delivering public infrastructure, services, and development projects worldwide. PPPs offer a promising avenue for addressing infrastructure gaps and delivering essential services efficiently. By leveraging the strengths of both public and private sectors, PPPs can mobilize private sector expertise, innovation, and financing, leading to improved project outcomes and cost-effectiveness. This collaborative approach allows governments to overcome budget constraints, accelerate project delivery, and enhance the quality of services, ultimately benefiting citizens and fostering economic development. However, the success of PPPs depends on several critical factors. Effective risk allocation, transparent governance frameworks, clear contractual arrangements, robust regulatory oversight, and stakeholder engagement are essential for mitigating risks, ensuring accountability, and safeguarding public interests. . PPPs also require careful project selection, feasibility assessments, and performance monitoring mechanisms to achieve value for money and long-term sustainability. while PPPs offer opportunities for enhancing infrastructure development and service delivery, their success hinges on balanced risk-sharing, effective governance mechanisms, stakeholder collaboration, and adherence to best practices. By learning from past experiences, addressing challenges, and adapting to evolving contexts, PPPs can continue to play a valuable role in addressing societal needs, fostering economic growth, and achieving sustainable development goals, 7A PUBLIC | PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP | References hitps://www. n/1-l4.pdf sites) Introduction to the PPP Framework concept and initial Framework considerations.

These include extended negotiation periods, insufficient processes for reaching agreements, and discrepancies in the flow and completeness of information exchanged between parties. These challenges can hinder the effectiveness and efficiency of negotiations in reaching mutually beneficial outcomes.In PPPs, incomplete contracts are a significant challenge due to the long-term nature of partnerships. It's difficult to anticipate and include every detail or scenario in the contract, leading to uncertainties and the need for ongoing negotiation and adaptation as the partnership progresses, In PPP contracts, contractual design plays a vital role. This includes addressing issues like unclear terms, limited flexibility for adjustments, inadequate details, and a lack of transparency in contractual content. Addressing these aspects is crucial for ensuring the effectiveness and transparency of PPP partnerships. Resources: In PPPs, three main risks are financial constraints staffing limitations, and time constraints. These challenges highlight the need for managing resources well to help partners work together effectively and overcome obstacles. Cost overruns can happen if initial costs are not estimated correctly, creating financial problems for PPP projects. The complexity of the PPP ‘model itself can sometimes be a hurdle. Private players may also face difficulties in getting legal support for land or resource acquisitions. Having skilled and coordinated staff is crucial for project success, and differences in timeframes between partners can cause issues. Effective management of these challenges is vital for PPP projects to run smoothly. Objectives: In PPPs, objectives include goals and plans for project outcomes. Risks include conflicting goals between the private sector's focus on short-term profit and the public sector's aim for long-term public welfare, Differing strategies between partners can make it hard to align efforts, leading to unclear goals and policies, and uncertainty about project success. Moreover, different mindsets and culture of collaborative partners also lead to confictual situation Structure: In PPPs, structural aspects invalve how projects are organized and how partners work together efficiently. Risks include unclear roles and responsibilities, leading to challenges when partners have different expectations. Decision-making can be Poor tot3complex and inconsistent, with varying strategies among partners. Coordination issues arise from a lack of clear structures {and differences in organizational and managerial styles among partners. These challenges can hinder project implementation and the partnership's overall vision. Commitment: Commitment in PPPs pertains to the extent to which individuals align with the PPP's objectives, their loyalty to the project, {and their willingness to invest effort into it. The analysis identified risk factors related to individuals’ identification with the project and the engagement of partners When partners fail to identify with the PPP, it can lead to significant challenges, resulting in negative attitudes or pessimistic behaviors. Moreover, partners may prioritize serving their own interests over achieving the stated mutual objectives within the PPP.The second subfactor concerns partner engagement, encompassing risks such as lack of motivation, unwillingness to collaborate, and reluctance to take risks or invest. Active involvement throughout the project, particularly inthe strategic process, is crucial. A lack of commitment can significantly impact the project negatively. Environment: In the analysis, the environment in PPPs refers to external factors that impact the projects, beyond the control of PPP partners. Identified environmental risks include political risks, demand/revenue risks, risks associated with competition, and unforeseeable incidents.Unstable government , legal risks will pase major politcal risks for PPP model Unpredictable ‘market conditions stands risky for PPP model Communication: Communication involves delivering pertinent information to the appropriate individual at the opportune moment. Three primary risks identified in communication include partner interaction, shared information, and timeliness of ‘communication, Advantages of PPP: {An important benefit of utilizing the private sector to deliver public services is that it enables public administrators to focus Con tasks such as planning, policy development, and regulation. Meanwhile, the private sector is entrusted to leverage its expertise, particularly in enhancing service efficiency and quality. We discussed risks of PPP before.yet PPP can serve as better model for risk sharing. This risk sharing enables partners to mitigate risks efficiently without feeling burden of mitigation due to shared risks Private sector-financed PPPs enable the distribution of project costs for the public sector across an extended timeframe, aligning with anticipated benefits Conventional procurement practices recognize the private sector's efficiency in outsourcing construction, ‘maintenance, and design activities. PPPs further enhance private sector efficiency through their comprehensive lifecycle approach, Lifecycle approach allow private sector to achieve efficiencies in four ways Work planning and organisation:Long-term contracts in PPPs enable contractors to better plan and organize their work, improving scheduling and resource allocation flexibility. Optimisation of lifecycle costs'Well-designed PPP contracts optimize lifecycle costs by considering construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance tasks over an extended period, allowing for balanced expenditure and effective trade-offs between investment, maintenance, and operation costs. Risk management:Proper risk identification and allocation in PPP contracts contribute to better cost and deadline adherence compared to conventional contracts, as demonstrated by international experience. innovatiom:he lifecycle approach of PPPS incentivizes contractors to innovate, leading to the development of alternative, more efficient solutions to meet performance requirements, Encourage public sector reforms: [APP program can serve as a catalyst for public-sector reform in a number of different ways, Transparency and accountability: PPPs offer transparency by revealing the entire lifecycle cost of facilities, including operation and maintenance, thus forcing the public sector to make informed decisions about service delivery and payment ‘methods. This transparency fosters accountability among public-sector officials who must justify their choices openly However, to avail this advantage PPP should structured transparently.
