Public-private partnerships in Africa's energy sector : challenges best practices and emerging trends

Abstract

This paper is designed to be a key early output of the PPP-related activities of GPAD’s 2010-2011 Work Programme, which in turn is part of a broader mandate of the UNECA to promote private sector and enterprise development in Africa. As a non-recurrent publication, this paper will serve as the main background document for a workshop entitled “Public-Private Partnerships in Public Service Delivery: Best Practices and Emerging Trends” that will be held in Addis Ababa at the end of June 2011.
