The objective of this project is to increase the utilisation of public-private partnerships (PPPs) to innovatively finance infrastructure development in support of industrialisation in targeted African countries (namely, Cameroon, Cote d\'Ivoire, Kenya, Malawi, Uganda and Zambia). These countries were selected based on their expressed request to ECA, at the 3rd and 4th international PPP Forum in 2018 and 2019, to take the lead in mobilising and coordinating African PPP units and stakeholders. As half of these countries are LDCs and LLDCs, they have additional challenges. They have domestic resource mobilisation limitations, public finance constraints, growing and high debt burdens and dependence on external financing, amongst many. The expected outcomes from this work are to (a) strengthened the capacity of policymakers to formulate PPP frameworks in line with PPP laws in targeted countries, and (b) enhanced technical capacities of PPP units in selected countries to identify and structure projects that conform to innovative People-First PPP models in the selected African countries. Some of the capacities that will be built include the establishment of PPP Units to implement or manage the countries\' PPPs; guidelines that outline best international practices; efficient and transparent procurement processes; models and systems to accommodate local participation in PPPs processes by youth and women; project financing; legal and regulatory review of PPP frameworks; mobilisation of the private sector.
