  2. Introduction • Provision of infrastructure and related services is traditionally a role performed by Government • finance, build, maintain and operate • procured through works procurement • all risks on government • Untenable due to inefficiencies, mismanagement, competing needs, limited budgets • PPPs - alternative to stimulate, modernize and grow Uganda's economy

  3. What are PPPs? • Private sector involvement in providing infrastructure related services • Emphasis on economic and social infrastructure • Long term contracts that stress service delivery rather than asset creation • Several Types – Design, Build, Finance, Operate – Concession – BOT, etc.

  4. Why PPPs? • Infrastructure requirements outstrip budget allocation • Private sector financing - increased infrastructure investment without Gov't borrowing • Private sector management and innovation - increased efficiency and productivity • Risk sharing – Gov’t remains with residual risks • Scope for user charges – less cost to Gov't

  5. Success Factors • Service specified in output terms • Competitive tender process • Optimal risk transfer • Institutional framework: • political commitment and good governance • legal system to assure private sector • appropriate capacity in managing a PPP program, project selection and appraisal, negotiations, contracting, etc. • Not burdened by uneconomic objectives

The Case for Uganda? • Vision 2040 – To transform the economy to middle income in 30 years • National Development Plan designed to incrementally achieve this vision (5 year plan) • NDP 2010/11 – 2014/15 recognizes engagement of private sector in service delivery (PPPs) as a key strategy • Government commitment to infrastructure dev’t

  12. Challenges • Limited resource envelop so Gov’t has opted to embrace PPPs • Capacity constraints to implement PPPs • Institutional • Resources – local capital • Inadequate legal/regulatory framework • Public awareness/expectations • Ad-hoc selection of projects for PPPs

  13. Government Interventions To provide a conducive environment, • PPP Policy has been passed • Pipeline of PPP projects has been prepared • PPP Bill has been tabled in Parliament • PPP Unit or Department – to be established • Limited number of ongoing projects • Roads (Kampala – Entebbe highway) • Energy (Bujagali and Eskom hydro projects) • Office Accommodation and Housing
