Policy Principles
Framework for Sustainable Partnerships
The Policy Principles are a dialogue and negotiation framework to shaping political, social and institutional environments conducive to effective and equitable Public-Private Partnerships. To this end, the Policy Principles identify common basic values, key factors and role descriptions as the starting point for the participatory dialogue.
How to apply
The Policy Principles support participatory processes leading to a common understanding and approach to Public-Private Partnerships or reforms based on public service delivery. Providing the agenda for a participatory dialogue, they can be used as an instrument for self-regulation by encouraging all parties – public, private, civil society and consumers – to negotiate the appropriate level of commitment in their specific situation.
Who the Policy Principles are intended to serve
The Policy Principles are written for decision-makers in governments and water administrations, executive-level industry representatives, public service operators, development agencies, investors, financing institutions, donors, and key NGOs.
