Public-Private Partnerships

Both government and private sector investments are necessary for creating sustainable development. PTA’s public-private partnership (PPP) mechanism enables the public sector to harness the know-how, innovation, and resources of Microsoft, other private companies and civil society to improve the quantity, quality, cost and relevance of the products and services delivered.

How PPPs work

A PTA solution is driven by an engaged government sponsor tasked with achieving a policy goal. Public sector leaders work with Microsoft PTA to broker a public private partnership that can best meet the specific requirements envisioned by government. With broad experience in creating these types of partnerships, PTA provides governments with the blueprint for identifying and convening the various partners, aligning goals and incentives and creating a vision of shared success.

Each PPP balances individual goals, risks and rewards to benefit each stakeholder: government, private sector partners and citizens. Through complementary efforts, partners combine their strengths and work together for an impact that no one partner could achieve alone.
