Best Practices: Public-Private Partnerships- Examples of Successful Technology Collaboration in the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa

This IDC Government Insights study covers select best practices from four particularly successful PPPs across the MEA region with significant IT components.

"Governments across the Middle East and Africa (MEA) are looking to public/private partnerships (PPPs) as a means to radically improve infrastructure networks, enhance service delivery to citizens, and increase the availability and diffusion of ICT without necessarily having to directly allocate the capital expenditures required to extend services. Notwithstanding the progress made to date, however, more work needs to be done by governments in order to fully harness the true potential of PPPs to support their efforts in building information societies." - Senior Research Analyst Mukesh Chulani, IDC Government Insights, Middle East, Africa, and Turkey
