Introduction

A key motivation for governments considering public-private partnerships (PPPs) is the possibility of bringing in new sources of financing for funding public infrastructure and service needs. Public-private partnership (PPP) is a funding model for a public infrastructure project such as a new telecommunications system, airport or power plant or infrastructure. The public partner is represented by the government at a local, state and/or national level. The private partner can be a privately-owned business, public corporation or consortium of businesses with a specific area of expertise.
PPP is a broad term that can be applied to anything from a simple, short term management contract to a long-term contract that includes funding, planning, building, operation, maintenance and divestiture. PPP arrangements are useful for large projects that require highly-skilled workers and a significant cash outlay to get started.
They are also useful in countries that require the state to legally own any infrastructure that serves the public.
Different models of PPP funding are characterized by which partner is responsible for owning and maintaining assets at different stages of the project. This course provides an introduction to financing projects.
