<p>Public-Private Partnerships in Africa: Exploring Africa's Growth Potential explores PPPs' role in Africa's growth potential. While presenting a broader perspective of the entire African continent, this book zooms into several exciting case studies such as Botswana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe to give the reader a taste of the potential challenges of using PPP initiatives to achieve developmental objectives in different socio-economic sectors in the western, eastern, and southern parts of the continent. The Afrocentrism approach applied by the authors of this book makes it the best book for global readers interested in knowing what works in the African context and why it works.</p>

<p>Public-Private Partnerships in Africa is a book that takes full account of the holistic approach to public-private partnerships. It combines the necessary theoretical foundation with a comprehensive presentation of the implementation context (public procurement, legal framework, management). The concretization on the basis of several sectors of Public Private Partnership in different African countries is very important for the practical use of the book. Thus, this volume is a great asset for all who deal with Public Private Partnership in science and practice.</p>

In the twenty-first century, governments around the world began to engage the private sector with the objective of achieving public service delivery targets, and the African continent has as such, been experiencing transformation, particularly since the introduction of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), as a measure of reform and method of procurement. Unfortunately, there is a mixed bag of successes and challenges through this implementation of PPPs, causing a gap in infrastructure, leaving more than 640 million Africans without access to energy. Muhiya Tshombe Lukamba, Thekiso Molokwane, Alex Nduhura, and Innocent Nuwagaba in Public-Private Partnerships in Africa: Exploring Africa’s Growth Potential explore ways in which the government can collaborate with the private sector in order to close these gaps. The chapters analyze the implementation of PPPs and provide case studies on the use of PPPs in different African countries and industry sectors. This book unearths new findings on PPPs within Africa and provides solutions that are beneficial to scholars, the government, and the PPP industry through the theoretical underpinning of various contemporary issues.
