Isn’t it time to ensure that the “real issues such as using PPPs to improve the capacity of public water utilities or tailoring PPPs to suit the needs of a city” move to the centre of the debate? Is the failure to take control of the agenda a failure of communications or courage on the part of both the private sector and policy makers fearful of making the case in the face of public hostility?
