The paper presents the legal status of existing public enterprises in Slovenia before and after the adoption of Public-Private Partnership Act, that demanded the reorganization of existing public enterprises in the period 2007-2009. The paper also presents the analysis of local public utilities delivery mechanisms in Slovenia, focusing on the local public utilities providers in the field of water and waste management. The aim of the paper is to introduce the changes in the legal status of existing public enterprises, caused by new legislation and also to give an insight into the current state of local public utilities providers in the field of water and waste management. The results confirm the fact that public enterprise is the most common organizational form of local public utilities providers in the field of water and waste management and lead to conclusion that in the reorganization process the majority of existing public enterprises retained the status of a public enterprise.

The paper deals with the transitory provisions of the Public-Private Partnership Act that strongly interferes with the legal status of the public enterprises in Slovenia. According to this Act, there are merely two options for public enterprises in which there are private equity stakes. A public enterprise can be transformed into a company in accordance with the Companies Act, or the public enterprise status can be retained, provided that the private equity stakes are in a way nullified in the public enterprise, and that only the equity stakes owned by the Republic of Slovenia or local communities remain. The Act expressly refers to an option of terminating the private equity stakes through an own shares fund. By analysing the Companies Act, the author states that in practice, the procedure for acquiring own shares is most relevant due to their withdrawal. Thus, the share capital is reduced. In this case, the companies have two options. In the first option, the companies may withdraw their shares by following a simplified procedure. When doing so, they must have reserved profits at their disposal to use them for this purpose instead of dividing them among shareholders. In the second option, the companies may also withdraw their shares chargeable to quality funds, i.e., fixed-term categories of capital. However, in so doing, they must carry out all the necessary procedures for protecting creditors, which delays the whole transaction.

Collaboration with corporations, small businesses, non-governmental organizations and civil society organizations to provide socially beneficial goods and services. Public enterprises and the private sector cooperate in providing services and infrastructure through a variety of mechanisms. The level of performance and development of public enterprise in the country are very low due to corruption, management inefficiencies, overstaffing and inflation. This paper therefore in tend to highlight the different mechanisms of public private partnership (PPPs) in the management of public enterprise including concessions, build-operate- and- transfer (BOTs) arrangement, joint ventures and informal and voluntary cooperation as applied in some Latin American and Asian countries. The paper recommends that the government should clearly identify goals and objectives of public private partnerships and embody them in an official set of laws, develop strategy for management plan for public private partnerships and create employment protection measures for current government employees in organization that will go in to public private partnerships.

Waste Management Practices

This paper examines the influence of population growth on waste generation in Lagos metropolis, African’s most populous urban conglomeration. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, the study analyses the pattern of household waste disposal, collection and transportation in Lagos State. It also examines the public-private partnership strategy adopted in waste management. The findings show that population growth significantly influences waste generation and management in Lagos metropolis. As the population increased, the volume of waste generated also increased in each LGA of Lagos State. The public-private partnership strategy has been effective in managing waste, but the Lagos State Waste Management Authority oversight was adjudged as less than satisfactory. The paper concludes that intervention is needed in terms of educating the growing population of the Lagos metropolis on the best waste management practices. It highlights the need for a more efficient and effective publicprivate partnership collaboration to solve this perennial social problem.

Karachi is the largest metropolitan city of Pakistan with a population of 207,774,520 (Statistics, 2017).Ironically, a megacity of a developing state has its drawbacks and discrepancies in solid waste mechanism being one ofthem. Karachi has always been the center of businesses and government offices since independence, first as capital ofPakistan and later as a provincial capital. This study evaluates the importance of solid waste management for an urbancity such as Karachi, and the steps which have been taken by the successive governments to fulfill the demands of thisgrowing megapolis since independence. In this study, models of solid waste management adopted by different citieswill be analyzed and a suitable model for Karachi will be proposed. Needless to say, Karachi has the potential tobecome an eco-friendly city by adopting the public private partnership. In short, the civil society’s role is of paramountimportance.

Purpose: The study was therefore done to evaluate the Efficiency of Solid Waste Management Programs in Kenya- specifically Kilifi County, being guided by four specific objectives; How Public-Private Partnership(X1), Community Participation (X2), Budget Allocation (X3) and Government Policy (X4) Influence Effective SWM Programs in Kilifi county.Methodology: Descriptive design with the target population of 1,453,787drawn from Kilifi County where multistage and random sampling techniques gave sample size of 72 subjects. Data was captured using questionnaires. Data analysis was through descriptive statistics and chi square to ascertain effect of the variables using SPSS.Findings: Findings were that all the four variables of the study indeed have effect to SWM programs in Kenya.  X1 Hypothesis test results revealed that the calculated χ2(223.4 = P< .001). While X2 indicated that, the Cχ2 =268.5 = P-value in the asymptotic significance column was 0.00001. X3 revealed Cχ2 =216.9 where P-value was .00001. And X4 established χ2C=201.88 with P Value and P-value was 0.0001. The study rejected all the HO and accepted H1 which established there was relationship between all the study variables and waste management programs. Illustration of R=0.532 represents the simple correlation; therefore, a moderate positive linear relationship among independent variables and effective SWM programs in Kenya existed. R2=0.283 which indicated the total difference the dependent variable is clarified by the independent variables. In this case, the four independent variables explained 28.3% of the variability in effective SWM programs in Kenya and 72.7% variation in sustainable implementation being described by external issues not discussed in this research project. Regression analysis was done model equation; Effective SWM Programs (Y) =3.197+ 0.188 Public-Private Partnership (X1) + 0.213 (Community Participation (X2) + 0.177 (Budget Allocation (X3) + 0.080(Government Policies (X4). The model described that all the elements had a positive influence on the effective SWM programs. This regression equation proved that when all other elements are held constant (no determinants or elements) effective SWM programs would be 3.197. The study concluded, public-private partnership and availability and proper management of budget allocation as key determinants of effectiveness of the SWM programs.Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: It also uncovered that community participation greatly weighs in on the performance of SWM programs thus improved greatly efficiency and effectiveness of the programs. Lastly, proper government policies must be imposed to ensure legal policy and regulatory frameworks to ensure proper governance of SWM programs and sustainability. Future research required in all Counties across the Country. This will bring relevant information that could be useful for policy framework that   focuses on to promoting effectiveness of the SWM in Kenya.

The Right

Public-private partnership is often proposed as one of the better ways to establish sustainable and economically efficient use of water resources. On the other hand, we are witnessing an obvious crisis of legitimacy in the liberalization of public utilities, both by various civic movements and authors who challenge the success of this concept in financing water supply, emphasizing that numerous practical examples of private capital participation in this area have led to adverse effects on the poorest population strata. In this paper, the author analyzes the results of research related to the concept of public-private partnership, and attempts to answer whether such solutions appear to be necessary and whether they can be harmonized with the current tendency of public policies to recognize the right to water and include it in the catalogue of basic human rights.
