An overview of dedicated public-private partnership units
There is no standard definition of what constitutes a public-private partnership. The OECD (2008) defines a public-private partnership as: an agreement between the government and one or more private partners (which may include the operators and the financers) according to which the private partners deliver the service in such a manner that the service delivery objectives of the government are aligned with the profit objectives of the private partners and where the effectiveness of the alignment depends on a sufficient transfer of risk to the private partners.
