In the twenty-first century, governments around the world began to engage the private sector with the objective of achieving public service delivery targets, and the African continent has as such, been experiencing transformation, particularly since the introduction of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), as a measure of reform and method of procurement. Unfortunately, there is a mixed bag of successes and challenges through this implementation of PPPs, causing a gap in infrastructure, leaving more than 640 million Africans without access to energy. Muhiya Tshombe Lukamba, Thekiso Molokwane, Alex Nduhura, and Innocent Nuwagaba in Public-Private Partnerships in Africa: Exploring Africa's Growth Potential explore ways in which the government can collaborate with the private sector in order to close these gaps. The chapters analyze the implementation of PPPs and provide case studies on the use of PPPs in different African countries and industry sectors. This book unearths new findings on PPPs within Africa and provides solutions that are beneficial to scholars, the government, and the PPP industry through the theoretical underpinning of various contemporary issues.
