| Abstract | This step-by-step guidebook helps policymakers determine which infrastructure services could be supplied more efficiently and equitably by the private sector. It describes ways to shift these services to the market. Examples of successful partnerships between public and private sectors are reviewed in detail. To boost private involvement, the guidebook looks at ways to increase competition between the two sectors and reduce their financial risks. It examines the government's role in planning service investments, designing fair regulation policies, and giving consumers a voice in service management. The key sectors discussed are: railways, port systems, major highways, public transport, power transmission grids, road freight transport, and water and sanitation systems. |
