Dar es Salaam,          
A team from the Public Private Partnership Centre (PPPC) has embarked on a mission to scan cities and regions to identify strategic projects suitable for execution under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement.
The Centre’s Executive Director, David Kafulila, revealed during a PPP workshop with councilors from Ilemela Municipal Council in Dar es Salaam, that the exercise has already been conducted in Dar es Salaam.
In his opening remarks, Mr Kafulila stated that a team of PPPC experts will be dispatched to Mwanza City and its municipalities to undertake similar tasks, with plans to expand to other areas, including Arusha City and parts of Shinyanga.
“After Dar es Salaam, Mwanza will be next because you have shown interest in implementing projects under the PPP initiative, “he said.
Speaking about the exercise, he added that after scanning Dar es Salaam and its municipalities, the PPPC identified several projects. Authorities are now discussing the modalities for their execution.

He urged Ilemela Council to appoint a focal person to be trained by the PPPC to facilitate the implementation of PPP projects, highlighting the area’s strategic location and status as a business hub.
However, Mr. Kafulila clarified to the councilors that projects implemented under the PPP arrangement differ significantly from privatized ones, assuring them they should not hesitate to endorse such projects.
Mr Kafulila also noted that the revised Public Private Partnership Act, enacted in 2010, allows the Public Sector to partner with private entities to implement various Projects. Explaining further, he outlined that PPP projects could be implemented through solicited or unsolicited arrangements.
