Abstract
To overcome huge shortfalls in access to
infrastructure services, poor countries need much higher
investment levels and more expertise to build, operate, and
maintain infrastructure facilities. The private sector is
one source for such resources, and projects involving
private participation in infrastructure (PPI) have
increasingly been used in developing countries. But PPI
investment has been much lower in poor countries than in
better-off developing countries-and has been more affected
by the global financial crisis. How can PPI projects play a
larger role in improving infrastructure service provision in
these countries?
