Abstract:
Policy-makers are continuously seeking ways to improve service delivery and the
management of facilities. Many governments are turning to the private sector to
design, build, finance and operate infrastructure facilities which the public sector
is normally responsible for providing. Creating a partnership with the private sector
creates the opportunity to avoid the often negative effects of either exclusive public
ownership and delivery of services on the one hand, or outright privatisation on the
other. The application of good governance in Public-Private Partnerships will be a
key component towards the improved service delivery and thus the improvement
of quality of life for all citizens.
