PPP Development Stage – Selecting Options

11.1 What are the objectives of selecting options?

Once a government has determined that PPP appears financially and politically feasible, it needs to move on to identifying options for the partnership. The objectives of selecting options include:

• finding and implementing the realistic optimal organisational and contractual forms of PPPs;
• including all aspects (technical, legal, financial and organisational) in the preparatory and implementation processes;
• enhancing municipal capacity in terms of human resources, organisational development and regulatory framework;
• meeting municipal objectives of and benefits required through PPPs;
• contributing to poverty reduction; and
• establishing appropriate organisational and contractual arrangements.
