South Africa to reevaluate PPP framework
The government of South Africa has announced to increase the use of Public-Private Partnership in infrastructure projects all around the country. The decision has been made after the planning of announcement of ZAR 2.3 trillion (US$ 0.13 trillion) investment infrastructure programme to recover the economy after COVID - 19. The government is also reviewing the PPP legislation to stimulate more investment from the private sector in the infrastructure projects.
It is notable that only 2% of infrastructure projects have been successful with PPP procurement. The changes in the legislation and regulatory frameworks are expected to result in more investment.
