The Public-private Partnership in the Infrastructure: in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic

In the Czech Republic, half of the infrastructure network is still missing. Moreover, in the past, Dutch and Czech road infrastructure projects have been delivered over-budget and rarely on schedule. Solution for mentioned issues can become the realization of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects. The features of PPP projects not only make these investments possible but also solve other problems mentioned. Both the Netherlands (NL) and the Czech Republic (CR) have already established an environment enabling PPP implementation; Despite many PPP projects being carried out on the municipality level, there is not even one PPP project being implemented on the national level in the CR. This is in contrast to the NL, where the PPP market is already developed and the investment results in several national projects every year. How can the CR improve its PPP implementation policy? The answer to this question is provided in this book, as well as the tools, recommendations, and the PPP Maturity Pyramid, which can be applied not only for the further development of the PPP implementation in the CR, but also in other Eastern European countries.
