Evaluation On Public Private Partnership Adaptability In Africa

This thesis aims to explore the conceptual issues associated with defining Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). PPPs are viewed from different angles. These include as a way of managing and governing organizations, as an institutional arrangement for financial relationship, as a development strategy, and also as a language game. The review of different definitions indicates that there is no precise agreed definition of PPP. However, there are common features across the different approaches as well as distinctive features. Several gaps have been identified related to issues of governance, management and policy design of PPPs.We aim also to offer some suggestions relating to different conceptual issues which emerge in defining PPPs and what transforms a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project from a desirable project on a government ’wish list’ to an attractive investment opportunity in the eyes of a potential private sector partner? to enhance the chances of developing effective partnerships between the public and the private sectors by addressing one of the main obstacles to the effective delivery of PPP projects:having the right information on the right project for the right partners at the right time. We start with a review of the meaning of the term PPP, which can be difficult to define (chapter two). This is followed by a look at the foundation blocks for engaging with the private sector and the opportunities can Africa offers to the futures investors, how the public sector should interact with the private sector during the project selection and preparation phases, to ensure that decisions made during these phases are based on a realistic view of what the private sector can provide (chapter three), an evaluating PPP project by quantification tool (chapter four) this chapter because Evaluation of PPP projects is important, not only as a means to ensure that policy objectives are being met (for example, value for money) and to check if the expected benefits are being realized but also as a vital source of information providing lessons that can be fed back into further development of the PPP policies and processes. Evaluation can improve, for example, the approach to the market or the contractual structures and risk allocation. While contract signature is often regarded as the conclusion of the process, the true success of the project will depend on the delivery of quality services (chapter five).
