Abstract
Public-private partnership (PPP) has found itself in Public Policy in Africa both as a process and an outcome of a public sector reforms policy. In either case, it has gained much currency in Public Policy Practice in various sectors across Africa. In whichever case, it has mainly been used to either reverse the poor performance or jumpstart a non-performing sector in Africa with mixed results. In some sectors, privatization has been used synonymously with PPP. This has prompted several questions: What does PPP mean, and how is it understood in African public policy? What are the PPP policies that work and which do not? Why have some policies succeeded in some sectors/countries and failed in others? This chapter attempts to address these questions by looking at the conceptualization of PPP, PPP performance in various sectors, emphasizing the Water Sector in Africa, and the challenges to implementing PPP in Africa.
