2011
Eparque analyzed the country’s PPP infrastructure and legal and institutional framework with an eye toward regenerating its inner cities. At the time, the country’s Ministry of Finance had created a PPP framework (including a secretariat and a nonbanking financial company to provide long-term funding) to support infrastructure and service delivery. The government had also established a revolving fund to pay for transaction advisers, structuring, and implementation. Within this context, we worked out a means for city governments to obtain national PPP support for their inner-city regeneration projects. Given existing PPPs and laws, we suggested a breakdown of projects into water/sanitation, transport, and social infrastructure, and we recommended participation in several PPP schemes rather than attempting a single PPP for a particular inner-city regeneration project.
