The twenty-first century has seen governments worldwide engage the private sector to achieve public service delivery targets, particularly in Africa, where public-private partnerships (PPPs) have been introduced as a reform and procurement method. However, the implementation of PPPs has resulted in a mixed bag of successes and challenges, leading to a gap in infrastructure and leaving over 640 million Africans without access to energy. In "Public-Private Partnerships in Africa: Exploring Africa's Growth Potential," Muhiya Tshombe Lukamba, Thekiso Molokwane, Alex Nduhura, and Innocent Nuwagaba explore ways in which the government can collaborate with the private sector 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.
