Why Read Building Better Partnerships?

Every year, governments around the world commit billions to Public-Private Partnerships. Some transform economies. Others collapse under the weight of poor preparation, weak governance, and misaligned incentives. The difference is rarely the project - it is the capability of the people and institutions behind it.

Building Better Partnerships introduces the Public Private Partnership Maturity Index (PPPMI): a comprehensive capability framework that helps governments assess where they stand, understand what best practice looks like, and build a structured path toward PPP excellence. Grounded in the globally recognised PPP Guide from the World Bank Group and APMG International, and drawing on decades of real-world PPP experience, the PPPMI covers thirty process areas across five core categories - from strategy and governance to procurement, execution, and beyond.

Whether you are establishing a PPP programme for the first time or strengthening an existing one, this book gives you the tools to measure what matters, identify what needs to change, and deliver partnerships that genuinely work - for governments, investors, and the public alike.
