Governments Empowered to Deliver Efficient, Fair Infrastructure for All
The paper discusses ways to choose the best methods for providing infrastructure like roads and utilities. They aim to improve efficiency, fairness, and accountability in how these services are given. The researchers think that when possible, private markets should handle infrastructure. They then explore how different types of infrastructure can fit into competitive markets and what roles the government and private companies should play. They show that there isn't just one perfect way for all places and situations. Instead, countries can use various ways that involve both public and private sectors. They also mention important issues like promoting competition, involving more people, managing risks well, and planning infrastructure finances effectively. By looking at examples from around the world, they find that different ways of organizing infrastructure work best depending on the circumstances.
