“…Research literature suggests that although the appeal for PPP all over the world is growing, systematic examination of the success and failure factors is limited (Jamali 2004b;Alinaitwe & Ayesiga 2013). The understanding of such factors will allow for the efficient allocation of scarce resources (Zhang 2005;Agrawal 2010) and the establishment of guidelines for PPP activities (Boynton & Zmud 1984). Such understanding is also required for the development of a workable and efficient PPP framework (Zhang 2005;Kwak et al 2009).…”

Such understanding is also required for the development of a workable and efficient PPP framework (Zhang 2005;Kwak et al 2009). As observed by Milosevic & Patanakul (2005), critical success factors have a significant impact on the success of a project.…”

“…For instance, the success factor "Favorable legal framework" was found to be critical in both mainland China and Hong Kong (Cheung, Albert P C Chan et al 2012). On the other hand, other authors (Zhang 2005;Brown et al 2006;Mu et al 2011) are of the opinion that critical success factors of PPP projects vary in different administrative settings. The authors argued that because CSFs are place-specific, their level of importance tends to vary in different administrative contexts.…”

“…Although, the concept, process and key principles of PPP are essentially identical; many aspects of PPP are either project, sector and country-specific (Zhang & Chen 2013). As submitted by Zhang (2005), environmental peculiarities influence the success of PPP projects. For this reason, the relative importance of CSFs of PPP projects is determined by the specifics of political, cultural and institutional context (Mu et al 2011;Brown et al 2006).…”

The inability of the public sector to independently meet the increasing demand for infrastructure and services has prompted many governments to adopt Public-private partnership (PPP) as an alternative strategy. In worldwide practices, however, there are mixed results and controversy in the application of PPP model. The Public-private partnership has, for this reason, become an increasingly active research area mainly to establish the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) towards improving the PPP model. This article reviews the current debate on the subject of PPP and compares the findings of different literature regarding the relative importance of CSFs of PPP projects. The authors argue that the CSFs of PPP projects are distinctive to the context of location and time. The article concludes that this subjectivity has implications for the "guaranteed" success of both existing and future PPP projects.

ABSTRACT. Public-private-partnership projects are long term, complex and very challenging contractual arrangements and relationships. They bring new roles for public sector and also for private sector in terms of construction and services. This paper will go through some features of the Finnish PPPs. Proactive law focuses in practical views as regards contract law and contractual issues. The main target is to prevent problems instead of confronting them. This paper will clarify what proactive law is about in terms of contract law and contracting especially in PPPs. For instance, 20-40 years' partnership relation with PPPs brings up also dozens of different risks into the picture. This paper will discuss the risks and risk management in terms of proactive law and after that, focus on PPPs in Finland.

Public–private partnership (PPP) is a relatively new development paradigm in most developing countries. In an increasingly competitive global environment, governments around the world are focusing on new ways to finance development projects, build infrastructure, and provide social services to their citizens. This paper examines the challenges and the enabling environment for PPP mainstreaming in Ghana's development agenda. The study reviewed critical literature pertaining to prospects and challenges of PPPs across the world and critical success factors and challenges. The study was spiced by data generated through in‐depth interviews with experts on PPPs in Ghana. The paper reveals that implementation of PPPs in Ghana could be fraught with a number of challenges including regulatory frameworks, weak institutions, weak technical expertise, political will, bureaucracy, poor maintenance culture, contracting, negotiation challenges, and risk sharing and corruption. These challenges are complex in nature and require concerted effort and enabling environment to address them. There is the need for a clear regulatory framework and institutional capacity building to enable Ministries, Departments and Agencies and Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies to effectively handle the PPP processes in Ghana.
