Summary

Developing countries need to build a strong pipeline of bankable investment opportunities and sound legal and institutional framework to attract the private sector if we are to deliver sustainable services and infrastructure that is critical to ending extreme poverty. Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) can have a transformational role both by building strong bankable projects that attract private participation and investment and creatively combining scares ODA and government funding to leverage private finance. The session will aim to share lessons from PPP experience and discuss how such models can be expanded to truly transform billions into trillions.
