IFC Seminar Highlights Private Sector Solutions
How the private sector can help governments cope with pressing infrastructure problems was the topic of a recent IFC seminar on municipal water, wastewater, and desalination, which was held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The two-day event featured nine panels on topics ranging from the energy requirements of desalination, to investors’ perspectives on water projects, to building government capacity for public-private partnerships.

Representatives of governments, private companies, and multi-lateral institutions in the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa were among the more than 50 participants. This is the second in a series being sponsored by IFC to explore how public-private partnerships can leverage increased infrastructure investments. The event was co-sponsored by the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility and The Infrastructure Consortium for Africa.
