This session discusses how to optimize infrastructure concessions and PPPs on the African continent, which frequently face institutional limitations. WAPPP, with its global PPP professionals network, can help bridge some of these gaps to make PPPs work more effectively in Africa.

Session themes:

  • Spotlight on the UNECA pilot project with six PPP Units (NAPs). 
  • Africa in perspective: strengthening institutional capacity and making PPPs work.
  • Challenges and opportunities.
