Africa has so much potential, the population is young, there are ample natural resources and the economies are constantly rising. Nevertheless, in order to fully unleash this potential, the continent has a number of issues it has to address particularly in the field of sustainability; infrastructural development; health and education.
There are several complexities that hinder the development of this continent; through the use of PPPs being pioneer entrepreneurial initiatives to solve these difficulties, Sanjeev Mansotra is enhancing the development of this continent.
The Public-Private Partnership Model
Partnerships are arrangements with the synergy of the two sectors and therefore proved effective in delivery of services. Private sector gives money, ideas, and effectiveness, as the public sector offers rules and accessibility. The factor has also been used by Sanjeev Mansotra, the head of Planet One Group to amplify the outreach of its operations. His approach is teamwork among governments, NGOs and other businesses to address the African challenges in an integrated manner.
In his strategy, Mansotra also uses community participation, capacity development, and knowledge transfer since the solutions must address the local stakeholders’ needs and are long-term.
Improving Education through Partnerships
Mansotra has been extremely active in promoting education the world over. Several African cities are unable to finance their school systems; these schools do not equip the learners with knowledge suited to contemporary professions. In response to this, Mansotra has formed partnerships with Government and Non-Governmental organizations to enhance education. He has offered vocational training to enable the youth acquire relevant skills necessary in the market places.
Some of the roles assumed by NGOs include teaching profession and community sensitization, funding and provision of basic facilities are provided by some businesses while IT support is some other area that businesses offer. The above partnerships are transforming the nature of education in Africa to favor students in order to help them create better lives.
Improving Healthcare Delivery
Availability of healthcare is another difficulty that comes to the agenda in Africa. The PPP model of Mansotra integrates various stakeholder groups to enhance the availability, cost, and quality of health services. He has done extensive work with governments to establish both wellness centers and mobile clinics in poorly served areas where health facility is almost anathema.
These centers receive technologies and other amenities from private industries and through NGOs and health institutions educating and training the human resources in the sector. His approach is that for the solutions that he provides, we can see that they meet the local needs and culture. Therefore, such measures cause enhancement of health, decrease of mortality, and the formation of a healthy, effective population.
Building Infrastructure through Strategic Partnerships
Infrastructure is very critical to any economy, Sanjeev Mansotra truly sees this by the role played in putting infrastructure in Africa. Mr. Modi has also ventured to develop areas such as roads, energy, and telecommunication with governments and other investors. His projects are consistent with the national development strategies of various countries. His projects; government supply regulations and the private sector contribute enhanced technology and consultancy.
While these partnerships create physical structures, they also generate business and employment, and market and access to services such as health and education. Mansotra infrastructure projects make an economic impact and where implemented they help to enhance the welfare of millions of individuals.
The Power of Collaboration
Mansotra stresses the involvement of the many groups, so that every group can do what one group cannot do on it is own, thus the multiplier effect. In this way, Mansotra guarantees a better result in his projects while developing trust for further cooperation. As these partnerships bring complete and lasting solutions to Africa’s development challenges, the information sourced from them is also comprehensive.
Sanjeev Mansotra’s work demonstrates that people can, indeed, change things for the better when they work together; other leaders can emulate him. As he notes the need to work, means that no big problems can be solved if individuals do not unite.
