Abstract

Abstract Despite, the legal restrictions and the non-attendance of a public-private partnership (PPP) regulation, Algeria has an ambitious experience in public-private partnerships projects realized in the few last years, especially in water and desalination field, transport and airports management which steel a remain experience that needed to be spread on other public services. This study attempts to explore if public-private partnerships are the best solution for the Algerian public services delivery, amid the plummeting in global energy prices, which means a budget crisis for a country’s oil-dependent economy. This research aims to analyse public private partnership projects development in Algeria, by presenting a general framework of public-private partnerships models in different fields, basing on the international successful practices, in order to argue that public private partnerships can play a positive role in developing infrastructure investment and public services.
