4.7. Policy recommendations
i) Need policies for private participation in development of logistics infrastructure
Logistics infrastructure should ultimately cater for the needs of the logistics industry, which in
turn serves commercial needs. Governments need to develop innovative infrastructure financing
schemes with private sector involvement, but at the same time ensure that such schemes are
compatible with sustainable development objectives. Hence, policies should be devised that
encompass all parties involved with the provision of advanced global logistics systems.
Implementation of a successful programme depends on a number of important prerequisites: an active
government role in planning the logistics system, strong commitment to private funding, steady
economic growth, acceptance of some risk-sharing between private and public sectors, strong local
capital markets, and an entrepreneurial private sector. The selection of a preferred form of public-
private partnership and the specific form of private sector participation should be based on an analysis
of the total costs and benefits of the options available.
