Why is PPP an Option in Uganda?

Using PPP is a viable option in Uganda because of the following reasons:

  • Private Public Partnership reduces project costs and time while enhancing its overall efficiency and effectiveness.
  • PPP enables access to and learning from private sector resources, technology, and managerial skills.
  • PPP help in credit enhancement and consequently, access to long-term financing.
  • Private Public Partnership is preferred because it shifts risk to the private sector.
  • Private Public Partnership pursues an integrated approach to project completion.
  • Involves participation from various partners and may legitimize the project in the eyes of the citizenry and other stakeholders.
  • PPP may provide greater economic benefits than other forms of cooperation, such as public sector procurement. These extra benefits are usually referred to as value for money (VfM).
