  5. PPPs – don’t believe the hype

  6. Addressing the infrastructure gap PPP/ PFI is a small part of total investment

  7. What is a PPP? • PPP = is not one-size-fits-all • PPP = is not “free” • PPP = is not 100% private finance • PPP = is not “privatization” • PPP = IS risk transfer • PPP = IS politically difficult • PPP = IS complex • PPP = IS beneficial…but certain conditions must be met

  8. PPPs are complex

  9. UK PFI: evidence of benefits

  10. Opportunity to influence PPP project outcome

  11. Core policy considerations To PPP or not to PPP: Stop and Think • Before you leap consider your: • Policy objectives: what are the PPP drivers? • Institutional capabilities: who is the Champion and quality of the procurement governance? • PPP model and risk transfer • Risk = cost and it will never disappear • Private sector finance comes at a cost, the riskier the endeavour the higher the expected return on investment • Financial capabilities: what can you afford? • Legal/regulatory environment: are the relevant laws in place? • Realistic view of country context: investor friendly?

  12. Assessment of the PPP opportunities in SSA

  13. Africa Infrastructure Market Underperforming since 2005 • New infrastructure projects with private participation in Sub-Saharan Africa, by sector, has been in decline since 2005: • 2000 to 2009: • Total investment commitments: $12 bn • SSA accounted for 10% of the activity in developing countries by number of projects and 9% by investment • Nigeria and South Africa, accounted for more than a quarter of total investments in the region • 2009: • Investment commitment: $1.2 bn • Decline of 11% by investment and 27% by no. of projects compared to 2008 Source: World Bank and PPIAF, PPI project database

  14. Yet Africa’s Infrastructure Needs are Substantial Infrastructure density index2 • Africa ranks far behind other emerging markets in terms of infrastructure density • Africa is in dire need of improvements to its infrastructure • There is a marked shortfall in the investment required for the needed improvements to the continent’s infrastructure • Power is in particular need of investment • Significant change is required if investment in Africa’s infrastructure is to reach the required levels • Governments should recognise the need for and encourage private sector involvement • 1 • 0.75 • 0.5 • 0.25 Source: UN Economic Commission for Africa, UBS Research

  15. What portion of Africa’s Infrastructure Needs can be Privately Financed? • Infrastructure spend today: $43 bn • Public sector share: 64% • Private Sector share: 8.6% (excluding telecoms) • Since 2006 private investment in infrastructure has been $7.5–$8 bn p.a. • 43 of 48 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) implemented 238 infrastructure projects with private participation (PPI) involving investment commitments of $47.6 bn • Annual funding requirement: $93 bn according to AICD

  19. Policy maker’s checklist

  20. Policy maker’s checklist • PPP as a procurement option: Stop and Think • Assess the existing legislative and regulatory framework for PPPs • Outline a national infrastructure strategy • Push reforms as necessary through a strong Champion • Consider your resources and commit funds to the initiative • Build transparent procurement guidelines • Dedicated and experienced procurement team in place • Engage stakeholders and build momentum through targeted outreach among stakeholders • Race to the top in the country rankings • …and communicate, communicate, communicate
