  6. PPP Challenges • Intense competition in the segment so fear of competitor using privileged information. • Underperformance of business as a result of downturn of economy  reordering of priorities. • Focal person (me) not at important decision making level  frustration. • Previous corruption, inefficiency, bureaucracy and lack of accountability in the public sector mistrust.

  7. Prospects and Opportunities for PPP • NIBUCCA: N.B member/Exchange OPS- PIA-GBC • NHIS: successful health/business PPP • Coca-cola: using distribution network IEC campaign • A new vision in the public sector • Greater collaboration within sectors and sub sectors to remove unfair advantage. • Increased use of decision makers as focal persons. • Funds by international agencies being credibly utilized- PEPFAR
