Constantin Dabiré, special adviser to the Prime Minister of Burkina Faso in charge of Infrastructure, yesterday lifted a corner of the veil on his work at the African Center for Management and Professional Development (Campc), located at the Félix Houphouët-Boigny University in Cocody. The work is entitled "The public-private partnership as an alternative to the financing of efficient public infrastructures: myth or reality?". From the study carried out on a sample of 29 projects carried out in Ppp in the Uemoa space between 1996 and 2016 by Constantin Dabiré, it appears in the work that 76% of the infrastructures in seven countries of the community space-except Guinea -Bissau-have been fully completed, 73% of these achievements have been delayed, with an average of 16 months. The study also showed that 82% of the projects recorded an additional cost with an average of 10 billion FCfa. It is to face these challenges that Constantin Dabiré recommends that the PPP should no longer be launched solely on the basis of the question of financing and that it is now necessary to go beyond the State and the operator or the service provider, to also get the beneficiaries to sit around the table and promote the convergence of points of view. Especially since the level of indebtedness has no real impact on the performance of the project, according to him. “We must no longer do just to do. Why go to a PPP if it is not competitive and efficient? he wonders. The special adviser to the Prime Minister of Burkina Faso in charge of Infrastructure also invited the States to better equip themselves in the face of private partners who arrive with experts accustomed to international instruments. However, he recognized that too much should not be imposed on the private sector to prevent the quality of infrastructure from suffering. The proposals made by Constantin Dabiré were supported by Dramane Diarra, head of the surveillance service at the Regional Council for Public Savings and Financial Markets of Uemoa (Crepmf / Uemoa). But also by Capo Zinsou, international consultant in financial management. In addition, the conference recorded the participation of several personalities including Dr. Joseph Assi Kaudjhis, Dg of Campc. And each of the participants was able to have the book autographed.
