    Constraints to the implementation of public private partnerships for hydropower generation : the case of Uganda
    (2007) Emmanuel, Akampurira; Root, Dave; Shakantu, Winston

However, implementation is often problematic with varying degrees of success in different countries and sectors.

Notwithstanding the sector reforms and government commitment, private sector investment is still limited and many proposed projects have not materialised.
