Abstract

This chapter discusses the key concepts underpinning public private partnerships (PPPs), to ensure that readers have a firm grasp of the subject matter. The chapter defines the nature of a PPP, traces the history of such arrangements and examines the different models that exist. The chapter also presents the background for the remainder of the book; among other matters, the nature and extent of infrastructure development in Nigeria is discussed, as well as the state and use of PPPs for financing infrastructure projects in Nigeria. This chapter distils the critical success factors for PPP projects, as well as international best practices for carrying out PPP projects. Importantly, this chapter provides the benchmark against which the Nigerian PPP programme is assessed in subsequent chapters.

This definition is similar to the position of a number of writers from the USA that seem to give privatisation a wider meaning to encompass PPPs. See, for example, E. Dannin, ‘Crumbling Infrastructure, Crumbling Democracy: Infrastructure Privatization Contracts and Their Effects on State and Local Governance ’, (2011) Northwestern Journal of Law and Social Policy, 6(2): 46 –104.

Stabilization clauses are risk management devices in investment contracts between host states and investors. They address changes in law or other circumstances during the life of the contract. See, for example, Lorenzo Cotula (2008) “Regulatory Takings, Stabilization Clauses and Sustainable Development”, (online), available at http://​www.​oecd.​org/​dataoecd/​45/​8/​40311122.​pdf (last accessed 12 October 2013).
 
65
Non-compete clauses usually prevent the government from providing alternative infrastructure that will compete with that of the private sector investor for revenue. These provisions effectively make the public the guarantor or insurer of the private sectors’ expected revenues. See Ellen Dannin (2011).
