The purpose of these principles is to help government work with private sector partners to finance and bring to fruition projects in areas of vital economic importance, such as transport, water and power supply and telecommunications. The Principles do not aim at providing technical advice on implementation of specific aspects of infrastructure investment, contract formulation or regulation. The Principles cover 5 important sets of challenges for national authorities which includes deciding on public or private provision of infrastructure services,  enhancing the enabling institutional environment, goals, strategies and capacities at all levels, making the public-private co-operation work and encouraging responsible business conduct.
