Public-private partnerships in transport

This paper summarizes the evidence on the evolution of transport PPPs over the last 15 years or so. In the process, it provides a primer on the associated policy issues, including of the central role of project finance in the implementation of PPP policies and the debates on risk allocation in the design of PPPs. The paper also offers a discussion of the increasingly well recognized residual roles for the public sector in transport, with an emphasis on the regulatory debates surrounding the adoption of PPPs.Transport Economics Policy&Planning,Debt Markets,Banks&Banking Reform,Access to Finance,

Public private partnerships

One of the goals of Infrastructure Australia is to facilitate public discussion on how the nation could improve planning and investment in infrastructure to meet our future needs, as well as improving the way we use the infrastructure already in place. During the early phases of Infrastructure Australia’s activities, it became clear that members of the community, including people working in industry and government, have both ideas and information potentially of great value to the work being undertaken. This discussion paper aims to prompt input regarding how Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) could be used to optimise investment in public infrastructure and how the policies and processes for considering PPPs as an investment option and for implementing PPPs, could be improved

Public Oversight of Public/Private Partnerships

Richard Briffault moderates this panel discussion with Jack M. Beermann, Barbara L. Bezdek, Wayne G. Hawley, Susan Sturm and Louise G. Trubek. This panel looks more directly at some of the mechanisms for accountability and monitoring, a central theme of the entire Symposium. The panelists will be talking about such issues as the role of hte courts, litigation, government agencies, monitoring procedures, community organizations, advocacy groups, and public interest lawyering in providing monitoring and accountability for the new organizations and hybrid organizations that are center stage in the era of privatization

Thesis(Master) -- KDI School: Master of Public Policy, 2022Despite the efforts being made globally to achieve sustainable development through public-private partnership projects, the number of canceled projects remains higher than concluded projects. Yet, we know very little about what determines the success of a PPP project. Review of the critical success factors (CSFs) that determine the success of PPP projects are outdated, and even when some information is available, it almost exclusively relies on qualitative case examinations. This paper attempts to fill this gap by first reviewing the existing literature to determine the list of CSFs. Then, via regression modeling, the paper attempts to determine a quantitative readiness index on the success of PPPs via four main groups: macroeconomic situation, favorable market conditions, governance & political climate, and regulatory & institutional environment. Based on the literature review, the study reveals the importance of nine CSFs: project type, project sector, contract period, private ownership, project financials, change in nations’ Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the consumer price index (CPI), income level target of the project, and the number of bids for a project. Using these factors as independent variables in a multivariate regression model, the paper finds that the factors identified explain over 71% of the variations in PPP success.INTRODUCTION LITERATURE REVIEW DATA SOURCING, SAMPLING, & METHODOLOGY POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS AND FINAL CONCLUSIONSmasterpublishedRavi Shankar PANDI

Public-private partnerships

The public sector—government—has not always been successful in providing adequate services, especially in poorer, more remote areas. Since the 1990s, the private sector has been used to deliver financing opportunities and improve services in conjunction with the public sector through public–private partnerships. Water and sanitation has been one sector addressed globally through different types of these contractual agreements

PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS: A THEORETICAL OVERVIEW

Nowadays, public-private partnerships (PPPs) have resulted into a world-wide instrument for governments facing insufficient resources for growing public investment needs. Despite the general interest surrounding the cooperation between public bodies and private companies, the tendency of developing a common language for public-private agreements and the focus on identifying and sharing good practices at global level, PPPs lack a clear theoretical identity. The papers aims to offer a theoretical approach to public-private partnerships, pointing out various academics`, international organizations`, national and EU institutions` views related to PPPs. Thus, it becomes obvious that PPP is a flexible notion („umbrella-notion”), due to both convergent and divergent trends.public-private partnership, public services, public procurement, privatization, public management reform.

A crisis for public-private partnerships (PPPs)?

The credit squeeze and recession are combining to make PPPs almost impossible to finance, anywhere in the world. Traditional government borrowing and procurement can still be used to implement infrastructure programmes

Sharing science, building bridges, and enhancing impact: Public-Private Partnerships in the CGIAR

"This study, which examines the role of public–private partnerships in international agricultural research, is intended to provide policymakers, research managers, and business decisionmakers with an understanding of how such partnerships operate and how they potentially contribute to food security and poverty reduction in developing countries. The study examines public–private partnerships in light of persistent market failure, institutional constraints, and systemic weaknesses, which impede the exchange of potentially pro-poor knowledge and technology. The study focuses on three key issues: whether public–private partnerships contribute to reducing the cost of research, whether they add value to research by facilitating innovation, and whether they enhance the impact of research on smallholders and other marginalized groups in developing-country agriculture. The study examines 75 projects undertaken by the research centers and programs of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) in partnership with various types of private firms. Data and information were obtained through document analysis, semi-structured interviews with key informants, and an email survey of CGIAR centers. The resulting analysis provides a characterization of public–private partnerships in the CGIAR and describes the factors that contribute to their success. These finding are important to improving both public policy and organizational practices in the international agricultural research system." - from authors' abstract.Agricultural R&D, CGIAR, Innovation, Public-private partnerships,
