Abstract: Can conventional private participation in infrastructure incorporate Islamic finance requirements? Sub-Saharan Africa has substantial infrastructure-funding needs, but it is challenging to attract capital using conventional solutions, given the governing requirements of Islamic finance. In a comparative model setup, I indicate the conditions under which public–private partnerships (PPPs) are a viable organizational form of financing public services. I point out the trade-off conditions under which private and public investors reach their expectations of maximizing profit and providing social benefits simultaneously. Based on the observed socio-economic trends, conventional–Islamic PPPs can enable public services’ development with a strong emphasis on social welfare.
