Summary: | As governments turn to the private
sector to provide services once delivered by the public
sector, they must learn new skills. An increasingly common
way to provide the new capacities needed is to establish
public-private partnership units - as new agencies or as
special cells within a cross-sectoral ministry such as
finance or planning. Making the right choices on what roles
such units play, where they are located, and how conflicts
of interest are managed is critical in their success. This
paper reviews the experience. |
