Public-Private Partnerships - some myths exposed

posted Wednesday 30 November 2005
(Statement by Dr David Dombkins, National President, Australian Institute of Project Management.)

Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects are promoted as adding value to society. Unfortunately, this high ideal has been lost to short term profit and political expediency to make budgets look artificially good. PPP projects have been taken over by banks and are clearly not delivering their promised benefits to society. PPP proponents promise better management,innovation, and a performance based risk distribution where the private sector through their commercial expertise, take on a high level of project risk.
