Public and Private Partnerships in the Water Sector

Brief description

PPP is in the centre of today’s spotlights.

Learning objectives

Though the provision of water services is traditionally a public responsibility, the private sector has always been involved in one way or another: from tendering for construction contracts in large urban supplies to the informal provision of vended water in unserved areas.

However, a reorientation of the role for the private sector is currently being negotiated globally.The interest in private sector involvement creates a whole new array of options for decision makers in the water sector to consider.

Target group

The primary target groups of the I-Learning Package are professional staff from the public sector, working in governmental departments
dealing with PPP; professional staff working for supporting agencies, such as NGO’s, research centres, consultancy; professional staff in water and sanitation utilities that are exploring the possibilities of, are in the process of, or have already established a PPP transaction, and young promising bachelors, the future generation of professionals.
