SALI is adopting the People First PPP (PNP) approach. As discussed earlier, for LMICs such as Sudan, there are very limited opportunities to use PPP due to the very limited ability to access international financial PPP funding and the low level of PPP readiness in both the public and private sectors.
The World Bank has recognized that traditional top down approaches to PPP will not work in developing and fragile countries. There is a need to build innovative partnerships that bridge bottom-up and top-down approaches. The PNP model is bottom up and compliments the multi-lateral organizations top down approach.
