Module 10: Establishing Partnership Processes
10.1 What are the objectives?
Processes help to achieve the goals of a partnership via
guiding the partners through prescribed procedures. They
establish the ground rules that the public-private partnership
will follow to ensure that the objectives and guiding principles
are met.
Good processes produce a satisfactory outcome for consumers
without unnecessary costs or delays. On top, they also allow
flexibility to respond to unforeseen events, without losing
track of the original objectives of the PPP. In addition,
good processes should assure stakeholders that the partnership
arrangement is fair and transparent, reducing the risk of
legal or political disruptions later on.
Each PPP actor brings processes to the table that he/she/it
uses in every day life. Thus, each partner has to go through
the processes used by each of the other players, which he/she/it
has often not encountered previously. These existing, already
formal processes make partnership building easier. At the
same time, new tailored, mutual processes might evolve during
the partnership.
