Re: PPP --- From what I have understood, PPP in SSA generally involve the public service and foreign private companies/consortium. This is generally one pinning point of the struggles...as LDCs the local private companies do not generally have the power to handle the big projects and despite the great PPP laws and plans, their implementation often raise the concern of sovereignty and public uproars. For example, in Senegal the mining industries and upcoming oil and gas extraction economy, the biggest infrastructures development are conducted with foreign companies...law and policy makers are trying to adjust that issue by working on specific local content framework, etc.
