USAID's Mission to Sri Lanka began implementing the Promotion of Private Infrastructure (PPI) Project in 1992. The PPI Project will provide U.S. $8 million in grant funds over a four0year period to assist the GSL in developing a market to attract private financing, construction, and management for potable water supplies, wastewater treatment facilities, roads and transportation, power plants, and other infrastructure facilities through Build-Own-Operate (BOO), Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT), and similar undertakings. The GSL has demonstrated its interest in and commitment to private provision of infrastructure through BOO/BOT and other join-sector variants. The PPI Project funds technical assistance, training, and feasibility studies in support of four project components: private infrastructure networking, public awareness, marketing, and private-sector financing window.
