Public-Private Partnerships in Africa

Public-Private Partnerships in Africa: Exploring Africa's Growth Potential explores PPPs' role in Africa's growth potential. While presenting a broader perspective of the entire African continent, this book zooms into several exciting case studies such as Botswana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe to give the reader a taste of the potential challenges of using PPP initiatives to achieve developmental objectives in different socio-economic sectors in the western, eastern, and southern parts of the continent. The Afrocentrism approach applied by the authors of this book makes it the best book for global readers interested in knowing what works in the African context and why it works. -- Dominique E. Uwizeyimana, University of Johannesburg Public-Private Partnerships in Africa is a book that takes full account of the holistic approach to public-private partnerships. It combines the necessary theoretical foundation with a comprehensive presentation of the implementation context (public procurement, legal framework, management). The concretization on the basis of several sectors of Public Private Partnership in different African countries is very important for the practical use of the book. Thus, this volume is a great asset for all who deal with Public Private Partnership in science and practice. -- Jan Ziekow, German Research Institute of Public Administration
