Risk factors and mitigation measures in public-private water sector partnerships: lessons from the Asutifi North District, Ghana

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are promoted as a practical option for developing countries to meet their water sector infrastructure gaps. Despite their appeal, PPP projects have been described as complex and challenging, and the water sector PPPs are particularly associated with high failure ra...
