Lesotho: Technical Assistance for PPP Policy<br />
PPIAF funding: $74,910<br />
In 2004 PPIAF supported the preparation of a Country Framework<br />
Report in Lesotho, which included an action plan for facilitating private<br />
participation infrastructure. Since then, the government of Leostho<br />
embarked on a series of PPP projects, the largest being the $100<br />
million Lesotho hospital PPP, structured by IFC, which reached financial<br />
close in March 2009. The government was interested in launching a<br />
more systematic PPP program to <strong>cover</strong> all sectors, and provide greater<br />
autonomy to line ministries to develop PPPs of their own. The<br />
government viewed the development of a PPP policy and guidelines as<br />
a key step to institutionalizing PPPs across government.<br />
PPIAF’s Contribution: PPIAF provided support for an analysis of the legislative and regulatory framework relating to<br />
PPPs in Lesotho and the development of a draft PPP Policy to be used as a basis for promoting PPPs in the country.<br />
The activity fit in parallel with a separate activity to identify and prioritize a PPP pipeline.<br />
Results: The PPP Policy is currently waiting to be approved by Parliament, and a draft PPP Law is also in the<br />
process of being drafted. Following on from the PPIAF activity, IFC C3P has signed three mandates with the<br />
government of Lesotho: 1) ICT and facilities management PPP to connect 165 rural health centers; 2) medical waste;<br />
and 3) wind farm.<br />
PPIAF has provided follow-on support for legal advisory services for the ICT and facilities management PPP, and an<br />
application to support the wind farm through assistance to the Lesotho Electricity Generation Authority is currently<br />
being considered.<br />
The table below lists C3P mandates that have been signed or are at a developed stage of discussion that<br />
have benefitted from PPIAF support using IFC funds. A full list of activities and results can be found in<br />
