Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) have become increasingly popular as a means of delivering public services and infrastructure. PPPs are contractual arrangements between public sector authorities and private sector entities, in which the private sector assumes substantial financial, technical, and operational risks in the design, construction, financing, and/or operation of a project. Effective negotiation and management of PPP contracts are crucial to ensure the success of the project and the achievement of its objectives.
