Housing is important to the wellbeing of humans, it goes beyond providing shelter alone. Without proper infrastructure provision, housing cannot be sustainable. Infrastructure provision plays a huge role in making a community or society habitable. Rapid population growth brings about high demand for housing and infrastructure as experienced in the country’s capital Abuja. Government’s inability to provide sufficient housing and infrastructure in the past brought about the public private partnership in housing delivery where government provides primary infrastructure to districts and private estate developers provides secondary infrastructure to estates. This arrangement have suffered setbacks, as subscribers of houses under this scheme suffer from little or no infrastructure provision leading to poor living and environmental conditions and many houses remain unoccupied. This research aims to assess the factors affecting the provision of infrastructure in public private partnership estates. From the research findings, the inability of government to provide primary infrastructure to districts (RII=0.89), insufficient finance (RII=0.87) and high interests on loan (RII=0.80) ranked as the most significant factors affecting the provision of infrastructure. It was concluded from the findings that government’s inability to provide primary infrastructure in districts and insufficient loans are the major hindrances to estate developers in the provision of infrastructures in housing estates. It is recommended that government should participate fully in the provision of infrastructure in districts and act as minority equity co-investor in future housing development projects.

The objective of this paper was to have a study on the perceptions of stakeholders of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects for factors affecting the attractiveness of road projects in India. A questionnaire survey was conducted among major PPP project participants of Indian PPP road projects. Fifteen attractive factors were shortlisted through a literature survey for designing the questionnaire. Collected data was analyzed with factor analysis and descriptive statistical analysis. The findings resulted in three components: effectiveness of the private sector, effective time and cost management, and the public sector’s economic benefit. Eight factors were identified as highly affecting the attractiveness of PPP in Indian road projects. PPP provides ample diversity of net benefits to both the public and private sectors. During the project development stage, both sectors have to formulate decisions based on appropriate assessment criteria. Therefore, the reflection of attractive factors will assist the public-sector to select PPP in the road sector. It also helps to establish the strategy for road projects using PPP.

Local governments around mainland China initiated over 14,000 public–private partnership (PPP) projects with a total investment of 18 billion RMB in recent years, but nearly half have been withdrawn since the end of 2017, which raised wide concerns about whether PPP can contribute to the sustainable infrastructure development in urban China. In this study, we empirically investigated major factors affecting local governments’ PPP adoption, especially factors that led local governments to initiate inappropriate PPP projects. Based on a unique panel dataset of 286 Chinese cities between 2014 and 2017, the empirical findings suggested that local governments’ financial pressure was the most important factor and cities with higher off-budgetary debts or lower budgetary deficits tended to initiate more PPP projects. PPP projects initiated under off-budgetary burdens were more likely to be inappropriate and subsequently withdrawn. Based on the empirical results, we provide policy suggestions to promote sustainable PPP developments in China.

Given the complexity and wide stakeholder interests in public-private partnership (PPP) projects, different parties have different expectations and definitions of PPP project success. This paper explores the perceptual differences on the success criteria for PPP projects among PPP stakeholders. A questionnaire survey was conducted with targeted international PPP experts from the academic, public and private sectors. The research findings show that each stakeholder group considers effective risk management as the most critical success criterion. Moreover, the public and private sectors consider meeting output specifications as the second most critical criteria, whereas the academic sector considers satisfying the need for public facility/service. Further analysis using non parametric tests shows significant differences on the ranking of the criterion, “satisfying the need for public facility/service” between the public and private sectors and between academic and private sectors. These research outputs provide significant insights into how PPP projects’ success is evaluated by various PPP stakeholders.

In the 21st century, the traditional model of official development assistance (ODA) promoted by developed countries is faced with many challenges. One of them is the emergence of the “public-private partnership (PPP)” model for international development cooperation (IDC), which has become increasingly popular among developed countries and international organizations over the past decade. This article explores the origin, meaning, and mechanism of the PPP model, and discusses the major obstacles it encounters in practice. The article also compares PPP with China’s “development package” model, and puts forward some policy recommendations on China’s participation in IDC. Although China is a pioneer in carrying out public-private cooperation in international development, it needs to fully reflect on its experience, so as to formulate clearer guiding principles and management rules on public-private cooperation. It is also imperative for the country to set up relevant institutions and mechanisms to promote PPP practices.

Public private partnership is in central of good governance with emphasis on efficiency, inclusion and partnership. The main point is that the partnership does not mean competition, but cooperation between different organizations. It means a formal link between public and private sectors and involves cooperation in planning, financing and implementation of joint projects to achieve common goals. The state assists in its mission from many actors, and above all from the private sector. This article aims to explore the concept of Public Private Partnership as an approach that provides mutual benefits to both public and private sectors. Albania has great potential to develop successful forms of Public Private Partnerships and the public interest is quite high, however, it is important to learn from own successful and not successful experiences of the past, as well as from the experience of the others. This study focused in experience of Municipality of Korca, main region in southeast of Albania.

Over the past decades, the sport industry has changed and transformed. The growing sophistication in terms of infrastructure and scientific and technical support needs, the increased visibility of competitive sports and the emergence of sport as a lucrative sector have given credence to the public-private partnership initiative. Thus, various agreements concluded between public institutions and private companies have been put in place during the last decade in Morocco to promote the development of new projects, including sports facilities. Several forms of partnership have been adopted. In this context, the public-private partnership is presented as a hybrid organizational agreement between the public sector and private initiatives in the launch of the Hassan II Park, a project with a triple sporting-societal-tourism vocation launched by King Mohamed 6 in 2014 and inaugurated in November 2018.

Public-private partnership was not unknown in Macedonia prior to the adoption of the latest legislation on concessions and PPP in 2007. Many infrastructure and other public interest projects have been developed or tried in the form of concessions mainly at the state level over the past few years. The Concession and Other Forms of Public-Private Partnerships Act marks an important step towards stimulating more intensive use of public-private partnerships, particularly in developing infrastructure and public services at the local self-government level. One has to welcome the introduction of this very concept of the Public-Private Partnerships Act into the Macedonian legal system because it brings this form of financing local development closer to both public and private partners, and it makes the whole process of structuring and awarding PPP projects more transparent and clear. KEY WORDS: • public service delivery • public-private partnership • concession • Macedonia
