Jackwell explains that public-private partnerships (PPPs) have long been used to deliver infrastructure and services where state resources are limited. In South Africa, PPPs are primarily governed by Regulation 16 of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA).

In response to the growing need for infrastructure development, Jackwell says that the Minister of Finance published amended Treasury Regulation 16 on 7 February 2025, with the changes taking effect from 1 June 2025.

Jackwell notes that the amendments aim to create a more enabling environment for private sector participation, attracting investment, unlocking financing, and leveraging private sector expertise to support public sector delivery.
