The Role of the Private Sector in Sustainable Infrastructure Development
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, to review and assess the role already played by the private sector in sustainable infrastructure development and to explore its potential in the future. Second, to outline steps needed to be taken to facilitate the further development of private sector participation and the role of the international community in helping to optimize the sector’s potential contribution.

Mobilizing Private Finance for Local Infrastructure in Europe and Central Asia. An Alternative Public Private Partnership Framework
The countries of Europe and Central Asia (ECA) have experienced a marked decline in investments by international private operators/investors in local infrastructure—much in line with the trend observed in other emerging markets. The lack of sufficient public and private sector investments in local infrastructure in ECA is unsustainable for central and local governments given the peculiar nature of local utility services. In light of the increasingly tight fiscal constraints faced by governments across ECA, there is a strong need to develop alternative Public-Private Partnership (PPP) frameworks that could attract private investors to the local infrastructure sector.

Private Public Partnerships in Toll Roads in PRC
The paper deals with the current need to finance increased levels of expressway construction in PRC from private sources of capital and debt. As the Central Government begins to redirect its resources increasingly to the western parts of PRC, the eastern provinces will need to find private capital to supplement their road construction programmes. The paper discusses the current legal climate which governs road investment, the current and future financing modalities that are potentially viable and the implications of the toll road program on the poor. The paper concludes with a number of suggestions and issues which require attention at both the Central Government and Provincial Government levels if the massive new investment from the private sector is to be achieved.

Toolkits for Private Participation in Water and Sanitation: What a Private Sector Arrangement Should Cover
The toolkit provides checklists of the issues that should be covered in three basic kinds of contract: the concession contract, the build-operate-transfer (BOT) contract, and the management contract. Some of these issues may be covered in existing laws and so would not need to be addressed in the contract. Rather than attempt to provide model contractual language (which would be unlikely to apply in all the vastly differing circumstances that countries face), the checklists set out questions to which contracts and supporting regulations should provide answers.

Designing and Implementing an Option for Private Sector Participation in Water and Sanitation
The procedural issues discussed in this toolkit are most relevant for arrangements in which the private sector takes on a substantial role—management contracts, leases, build-operate-transfer (BOT) contracts, concessions, or divestitures. The toolkit focuses on such areas as the structure of the government unit set up to manage the design and implementation of a private sector arrangement, the hiring of consultants to assist with the process, the steps in the process and the critical path through these steps, and the design and management of bidding for the private sector contract.

Selecting an Option for Private Sector Participation in Water and Sanitation
Designed for governments to use as they begin to look for a private partner, this toolkit sets out the issues that a government must work through to identify which kind of private sector arrangement best meets its needs and circumstances. To reach an initial decision, the government must ask itself some questions: What problems does it hope to solve? Which private sector options offer the best solutions to these problems? Do existing legal and regulatory arrangements support private sector involvement? Are the tariffs and subsidies required by the preferred option politically feasible—and the option therefore financially viable? Can the government win political support for the preferred option from key interest groups? If not, are there alternative paths that the government can take?

Public-Private Partnerships, Public Infrastructure Investment and Prospects for Economic Growth in South Africa
The chapter addresses the function of infrastructure in the South African economy and the current status of public investment in infrastructure. Given the fiscal constraints in South Africa, public-private partnerships (PPPs) are discussed as an alternative method of realizing infrastructure delivery and supplementing public sector resources. The chapter further outlines the forms of engaging private sector management expertise, resources and finance in the delivery of the services traditionally carried out by the private sector.
