PPP mode of procurement, though at nascent stage in Pakistan at present, has great potential in the future. In view of the special characteristics of PPP projects and the need to attract qualified private investors to support these projects, a special legal and regulatory framework is needed. To meet this objective, the Government of Sindh has enacted a PPP Law and promulgated new Rules for PPPs in 2010. These policy guidelines have been drafted to supplement the legal and regulatory framework for PPPs and to assist both the private and the public sectors in implementing this innovative procurement methodology.

For sustained development, PPPs will have to be mainstreamed in Sindh, rather than being used just for a few special projects. To fully utilize the PPP potential and to ensure that PPP projects are successful and mutually beneficial, a comprehensive enabling environment for private investments in infrastructure facilities is being created through the adoption of relevant policies, establishment of a legal and regulatory framework and introduction of clear guidelines for cost recovery and PPP financing arrangements.
