However, government resources are often insufficient to meet the needs of new projects and to upgrade existing infrastructure. Private participation in public infrastructure is therefore increasing but the respective roles of the public and private sectors are the subject of intense debate. This has led to renewed interest in public-private partnerships in developed and developing countries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGovernance and Knowledge Management for Public-Private Partnerships\u003c\/i\u003e shows how effective governance and knowledge management can improve the performance of PFI\/PPP projects.

The role of knowledge management strategy, the need for benchmarking knowledge management efforts, specific tools and methodologies for capturing, sharing and applying knowledge to accelerate learning and capacity building are also examined.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is essential reading for all those involved in PFI\/PPP projects, including policy makers, industry practitioners, academics and students.
