Summary: Private Sector Participation (PSP) has been increasingly used for infrastructure development all over the world. However, the studies that have been conducted to determine the impact of PSP on project outcomes has indicated mixed results. The objective of this review is to synthesize the evidence on the impact of PSP, specifically on access and quality of service in electricity, telecom, and water supply sectors. Further, to limit contextual heterogeneity, this review focuses only on evidence from developing countries. While there are several review studies that provide rich and in-depth description on outcomes from different forms of PSP, it lacks the methodological and analytical rigor required for drawing inferences from the large body of knowledge/ literature. The systematic review is an attempt to address this gap. Specifically, this review tries to provide answers to the following questions: Does PSP influence the access and quality of infrastructure in developing countries? What are the underlying mechanisms that explain the impact of changes in access and quality as a result of PSP? In instances where the impact has been negative or insignificant, what are the impediments to PSP that prevents in realizing the expected positive outcomes? https://eppi.ioe.ac.uk/cms/Default.aspx?tabid=3423
