“As Chair of this Committee, I made it clear that the era where government-dominated projects were labelled as PPPs must end.
True Public-Private Partnerships require genuine risk-sharing between government and the private sector.
“What we’ve seen in the past falls short of this standard. It’s time to streamline our understanding and execution of PPPs. We are confident that this team will provide the leadership and coordination needed to ensure that PPPs in Ghana are structured, sustainable, and truly beneficial to our people,” the PPP board chair said.
