South Africa
For a number of years, the South African Government has been actively developing the environment for PPPs. In 1997, an inter-departmental task team was appointed to develop a package of related policy, legislative and institutional reforms. Early PPP projects emerged between 1997 and 2000 in sectors such as roads, prisons and water. A Strategic Framework for PPPs was put in place in 1999. Then in 2000, the South African National Treasury issued the Public Finance Management Act (Act 1 of 1999) and established a dedicated PPP Unit.
