Why is it important?
Public Finance Initiative types of private public partnerships have grown at a huge rate across the globe in recent decades. Their efficiency and effectiveness are important for current public services, but also for the ability of government to fund services and facilities in the future.
Perspectives
While there are many advantages and disadvantages of such types of private public partnerships, we must be transparent and explicitly aware of them so that effective partnerships can be set up from the start and future problems can be avoided as much as possible.
