Abstract
Today policymakers increasingly
recognize that public-private partnerships (PPPs) in
infrastructure offer the most promise for developing
infrastructure and improving services. Countries in South
Asia face a dual challenge in infrastructure: many
households and businesses lack access to services, and those
that do have access suffer from unreliable and poor-quality
service. This paper recommends minimizing restraints by:
building consensus for PPPs, moving toward cost recovery,
improving transparency, enhancing government capacity,
fostering effective regulation, and easing financial constraints.
