Africa PPP 2019 will take place in Cape Town, South Africa, gathering global perspectives in and around Africa to discuss optimising projects, structures and sources of finance for infrastructure and energy projects beyond PPP’s’.
Africa PPP conference will comprise of important mechanisms to implement infrastructure projects: Governments need projects that the private sector is better equipped financially and technically to implement. This is an opportunity for mega industry and government participants to indulge on the outlook of reducing total project costs – avoiding risk mitigation and credit enhancements, understanding a comparison between unit price and fixed price contracts and investigating the major causes of scope and design.
There are also some benefits of PPPs for the African public sector, these include: improved service delivery and budgetary process for better use of assets, increased investment in public infrastructure, reduce public sector risk. PPPs help the public sector develop a more disciplined and commercial approach to infrastructure development whilst allowing them to retain strategic control of the overall project and service.
