This section of the GLN seeks to ensure that new PPP initiatives can learn from the global experience within other sectors, forms of partnership, and geographical areas. Here you will find information on PPP projects which goes beyond that available in the Project Database. This section presents an increasing range of case studies which provide high quality analyses of the substantive and operational issues surrounding PPP initiatives from around the world.

Study, analysis and proposals to strengthen public-private management programmes in the management of solid waste and environmental sanitation in the metropolitan area of San Salvador ( 756kb)
This study is part of a joint research programme by IDRC/CIID, UNDP/PPPUE, & HABITAT/PGU-ALC on "Public-Private Partnerships for the Urban Environment: towards new financial mechanism and institutional models. The research programme calls for studies on new enviromnental management models. The search is oriented specifically to models that are basically integrating in terms of marginality and poverty – two factors that influence the effectiveness of their government practices and urban environmental management.

Favourable Policy and Forgotten Contracts: Private Sector Participation in Water and Sanitation Services in Stutterheim, South Africa. (PDF/DOC)
Janelle Plummer, November 2000
GHK Working Paper 442 01, ISBN 0 9537562 2 X (52 pages)
The partnership for water and sanitation services, established in 1993, is an affermage contract between WSSA (a consortium including Ondeo-Lyonnaise) and a local municipality in the Eastern Cape. It exposes the crisis of municipal capacity, particularly in the light of an affermage contract where responsibilities for operations and maintenance and capital investment are ill-defined. It also draws attention to the breakdown in communication that can occur between partners with different capacities, and of the need for increased linkages between national-policymakers and local implementers if the needs of the poor are to be met.
Just Managing: Private Sector Participation in Solid Waste Management in Biratnagar, Nepal. (PDF/DOC)
Janelle Plummer and Richard Slater, January 2001
GHK Working Paper 442 02, ISBN 0 9537562 3 8 (52 pages)
The partnership for municipal solid waste management in Biratnagar is one of the few arrangements in Nepal involving the private sector in basic services. The arrangement was characterised at the outset by a fraudulent American operator, inappropriate technology, and unviable financial arrangements. Despite near collapse, it now provides a description of a partnership between a national business committed to entering the field of solid waste management and extending services to poor communities, and a municipality that has endured political but not financial risk.

Andrew Nickson, January 2001

The paper examines a joint venture /affermage arrangement between the Municipality of Cartagena, Colombia and a private company to provide water and sanitation services to the city's 800,000 population. It highlights the legal and administrative practices that limit the effectiveness of private sector participation in addressing the water and sanitation needs of the city.
Preparing a Concession: Working towards Private Sector Participation in Water and Sanitation Services in Gweru, Zimbabwe. (PDF/DOC)
Janelle Plummer with Godfrey Nhemachena, January 2001
GHK Working Paper 442 04, ISBN 0 9537562 5 4 (56 pages)
By detailing the early stages of partnership development, the Gweru case provides an illustration of the learning curve a municipality undergoes to introduce private sector skills, efficiency and investment into municipal functions. After a successful shift to PSP in some non-basic services, Gweru launched an effort to establish a concession for water and sanitation services. The case provides best practice in capacity building, consultative processes and team working, stresses the role of champions, and ultimately provides a tangible example of the importance of economic and political stability for investment-linked public-private partnerships.
