In an era of sustained public service reform, public private partnerships are crucial to the longevity and success of reform programmes. Public services must offer provisions that are modern, responsive, high-quality and, most importantly, universal.
Public private partnerships allow for the successful implementation of private sector resources and funds in public services. This is quick and vital additional investment and wholly beneficial for the public sector.
Opposition to public private partnerships has been widespread and there are two lessons that have to be learnt. Firstly, it is important to anticipate change and not lag behind public opinion. Secondly, progressives must overcome political and ideological opposition to PPP by illustrating their practical benefits.
“In Europe we stand on the cusp of a new relationship between citizen and public services. It is a future in which the public realm is not just bigger but better and fairer. Where centralised States have less power and communities and citizens have more. At the heart of this reform process lies the modernisation of public services. This is the future for Europe. Our job together is to make it happen.”(daqui)
