ABSTRACT
Any municipality embarking upon public–private partnerships (PPPs) will be forced to undergo some form of organisational change. These changes may be necessary to attract the large-scale private sector and its investment, to adapt to the changing role of the municipality in service provision, or to ensure that the partnership is focused and sustainable. The nature of these changes will depend on the characteristics and capacity of the municipality at the outset and the extent of the reform that the municipal government has embarked upon.
