Abstract Background: Public-private partnership in the health sector was introduced to improve the delivery of health services in Tanzania. Contrary, the anticipated outcomes have not been fully realised. This study aimed at investigating challenges encountered in the implementation of public-private partnership institutional arrangements in health service delivery in Kinondoni Municipality, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.Methods: A qualitative case study design was used, where in-depth interviews with stakeholders were held and document reviews conducted. Fourteen (n=14) participants engaged in this study. Eight (n=8) and six (n=6) of the fourteen participants were from the public and private sector respectively. Thematic approach was used to analyse data and ethical principles were upheld in the research process.Results: Findings revealed that although public-private partnerships are hailed for supplementing the government’s efforts in the provision of health services, institutional arrangements for the smooth provision of these services is lacking. Several challenges encumber smooth provision of health services and these include inadequate resources, ineffective monitoring and evaluation, as well as insufficient consultations between partners.Conclusion: Challenges facing institutional arrangements for public-private partnerships may either be influenced by inadequate legal and policy framework, or ineffective implementation practices. Therefore, strengthening of public-private partnerships is recommended to improve implementation mechanisms and practices such as adherence to partnership agreements and compliance to the policies, laws and regulations.

The Relationship

This chapter explores the relationship between freedom, regulation, and public policy. Adopting a “non-ideal” approach, it argues that there is no necessary connection between different conceptions of liberty and any particular sort of regulatory/public policy framework. Both negative and positive conceptions of freedom require a role for “regulation,” but whether this “regulation” arises from public policy or is best left to emerge through private agency in a competitive environment is a matter that can only be resolved by theoretical speculation and empirical inquiry. Many disputes about the freedom-enhancing capacities of regulatory regimes ought to be addressed within a framework that combines social scientific theory and evidence to understand the “compliance problems” arising under alternative institutional arrangements.

This paper defines sovereign investor relations (IR) and places it in the context of modern debt management theory. It highlights the role that improvements in IR and debt transparency can play in improving the cost-risk tradeoff in debt management, supporting market access and acting as a first line of defense in times of crisis. It sets out a policy framework and institutional arrangements for effective IR, as well as discussing the various practices, publications and strategies that underpin an IR program.
