23 Final Considerations The private sector is the main catalyst for change. Treat the private sector as a partner: private sector are the solutions. PPPs critical for sustainable development. Cooperation is essential for progress. Countries should consider: A coherent PPP policy with directions, responsibilities and goals; Strong enabling institutions; Legal Framework; Cooperative risk sharing and mutual support. Focus on a concrete deliverables that is in everyone's interest, a Win Win partnership; A confident investment and business climate. More transparency and accountability in the development PPPs. Developing strong, well-functioning maritime transport infrastructure is a key element of economic growth. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) in ports have become a means to manage port operations more effectively.
