The Second Forum for Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Units in Africa has officially opened in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The continental gathering is being held under the theme “Making Social Sector PPPs Work: From Policy Ambition to Effective Service Delivery.” The event brings together key stakeholders, policymakers, and public-private partnership units from across the African continent to discuss strategies for enhancing social sector infrastructure and service provision. Discussions focus on bridging the gap between high-level policy framework ambitions and practical, effective delivery of essential social services. Participants are sharing insights, best practices, and innovative financing models to leverage private sector efficiency and investment in public service delivery. The forum highlights the growing reliance on public-private collaborations to address infrastructure deficits and funding shortages in crucial sectors such as healthcare, education, and social welfare throughout Africa.
