Pratique ancienne, notamment en France, le partenariat public-privé désigne aujourd'hui une nouvelle forme de contrats publics fondée sur des techniques de financement venues du secteur privé et un partage optimisé des risques. Cette nouvelle génération de contrats est étroitement liée au « nouveau management public », qui promeut la gestion par la performance. Introduits en France sous la forme des contrats de partenariat créés en juin 2004, les « PPP » suscitent des interrogations quant à leur efficacité économique et sociale. Cet ouvrage aborde les différentes dimensions, économiques, juridiques et organisationnelles des partenariats public-privé, en les illustrant d'exemples récents et de nombreuses comparaisons internationales.

In this report the World Health Organization's Special Programme for Tropical Diseases Research (TDR), in collaboration with the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND), has compiled existing epidemiological data and generated a wealth of new data on the availability of TB laboratory services, variations in physician diagnostic practices, workloads of national laboratory networks, and manufacturer's sales to authoritatively document the volume and market value of TB diagnostic testing in nearly 200 countries. Customer requirements and R& D opportunities are clarified, and the major scientific, financial and market entry challenges specific to TB diagnostic development are presented alongside short and long term strategies and solutions. Furthermore, the potential future TB diagnostic market is estimated for a range of hypothetical new diagnostic tests covering the three major testing indications. Fourteen countries are profiled in detail to complement the global perspective. This report, drafted with extensive input from experts in tuberculosis and public health as well as from private industry, provides essential data and knowledge to dispel common myths and inform investment decisions by industry, foundations, government organizations and world health and financial organizations. The report is comprised of seven chapters, fourteen country profiles and an appendix addressing global in vitro diagnostic regulatory practices and classification schemes.

"In the early 2000s, the Government of Sri Lanka considered engaging private sector operators to manage water and sewerage services in two separate service areas: one in the town of Negombo (north of Colombo), and one stretching along the coastal strip (south from Colombo) from the towns of Kalutara to Galle. Since then, the government has abandoned the idea of setting up a public-private partnership in these two areas. This paper is part of a series of investigations to determine how these pilot private sector transactions (forming part of the overall water sector reform strategy) could be designed in such a manner that they would benefit the poor. The authors describe the results of a conjoint survey evaluating the factors that drive customer demand for alternative water supply and sanitation services in Sri Lanka. They show how conjoint surveys can be used to unpackage household demand for attributes of urban services and improve the design of infrastructure policies. They present conjoint surveys as a tool for field experiments and a source of valuable empirical data. In the study of three coastal towns in southwestern Sri Lanka the conjoint survey allows the authors to compare household preferences for four water supply attributes-price, quantity, safety, and reliability. They examine subpopulations of different income levels to determine if demand is heterogeneous. The case study suggests that households care about service quality (not just price). In general, the authors find that households have diverse preferences in terms of quantity, safety, and service options, but not with regard to hours of supply. In particular, they find that the poor have lower ability to trade off income for services, a finding that has significant equity implications in terms of allocating scarce public services and achieving universal water access.
