Public-private partnership (PPP) describes a government service or private business venture which is funded and operated through a partnership of government and one or more private sector companies.

The problem of lack of infrastructure and service delivery in some parts of South Africa is a serious concern to the populace. Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) have been identified as one of the options for facilitating infrastructure development and service delivery.

Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) not only provide government with a mechanism for financing but also needed public infrastructure at lower cost and deliver of higher quality outcomes. In a well planned PPP, public need is identified clearly and the rewards are allocated fairly.

The aim of the conference is to create awareness amongst public and private parties in Africa on how key projects can be implemented through the public private partnership process. The conference will also offer a platform to share information and challenges relating to infrastructure delivery and lessons that could be learned from successful PPP projects like the Gautrain.

In addition the Conference will provide strategic economic analysis, sectoral analysis; finance options insights, legal/political constraints, capacity building and risk management issues in PPP projects.
