“…Additionally, a 'well-organized and dedicated public agency' has PSO negotiating abilities and enough negotiation personnel. Because of the commercial partner's stronger position, it is common for the government to be more adept in its engagement (Nzau & Trillo, 2021). In commercial talks, the public agency's abilities must be on par with those of the private sector.…”

The use of public-private partnership (PPP) strategies in the delivery of public works projects has grown in popularity as an alternative delivery model, although its implementation has met with inconsistent success. Numerous studies have linked the effectiveness of public-private partnerships (PPPs) to the unique characteristics of various administrative environments. This comparative research used a case study technique to analyze the similarities and contrasts between the essential elements that determine the success of public-private partnership (PPP) housing projects in Malaysia and Nigeria. However, whereas ‘equitable risk allocation', ‘stable political system', and ‘reputable developer' are the most key success variables in Nigeria, ‘action against errant developer', ‘consistent monitoring, and homebuyer demands' are still the most crucial success aspects in Malaysia, according to the research. The results contribute to a better understanding of the environmental factors that affect the relative relevance of CSFs in public-private partnerships in underdeveloped countries.

Affordable housing remains a major problem for National and County Governments as the increase in population, particularly low-income earners, rises significantly annually. It is evident that despite efforts from both the national and county governments, Kiambu County still lags in the provision of affordable housing. The housing development agenda seems not to be getting the required traction at the county level with little participation by the private developers. This paper therefore, aims to establish the constraints experienced in the effective implementation of affordable housing in Kiambu County. The research design adopted in this study was survey research whereby questionnaires were used. The target population is comprised of 60 real estate developers who have an intention or have ongoing projects in Kiambu County and 100 housing officers and sub-county planners from the department of lands involved in the policy-making of affordable housing in the Kiambu County government. A sample size of 67 was adopted and a response rate of 83 per cent was achieved. The study established that the provision of affordable housing in Kiambu County is faced with various challenges such as inadequate incentives by the government, limited building technology, ineffective housing policies, inadequate supporting infrastructure, lack of access to project finance, high cost of building materials, high cost of land, and lengthy approval process. These have led to the inadequate provision of affordable housing in the county. The key recommendations of this study include; shortening the process of approving building plans and acquiring the necessary permits, making efforts towards reducing the cost of local building materials such as building stones by reducing or scraping cess fees collected from trucks transporting building materials, and the provision of adequate incentives to developers of affordable housing in the county

“…The view of compensation posits that IH programs are essentially taxes on the new development (Ellickson, 1981), and developers should be compensated for the provision of affordable housing because such provision imposes a burden on the property rights of landowners (McClure, 2012). In contrast, the view of recapture (also called land value capture) holds that it is a fair and equitable practice for the public to appropriate a reasonable share of the increased land value caused by the public sector's permission of new development; and such appropriation should be in the form of community benefits, including affordable housing (McClure, 2012;Nzau & Trillo, 2020). While value recapture has generally not been part of the planning culture in the U.S. (Calavita & Mallach, 2010), some localities have engaged in recapture mechanisms either through affordable housing requirements in their IH programs or through regulatory financing schemes (e.g., development impact fees and commercial linkage fees, which are considered a form of IH in this study) (Calavita, 2014).…”

“…As a result, empirical findings about the impact of IH on affordable housing productivity and housing markets are mixed (Ramakrishnan et al, 2019). The lack of a comprehensive, updated, and comparable database has led to scholarly work relying primarily on the same small subset of programs to examine their effectiveness and impact (Jacobus, 2015;Nzau & Trillo, 2020;Schwartz et al, 2012). Hence, a comprehensive national IH database is warranted to support research and inform policy design and updates.…”

Inclusionary housing (IH) ties the creation of affordable, below market-rate units with new development, and it is known to help address the affordable housing crisis and build inclusive communities. Yet, the absence of a national IH database limits our understanding of the prevalence, practice, and production of inclusionary housing in the U.S., and it creates barriers for further investigation and development of this affordable housing strategy. This study draws a national census of IH programs in the U.S. Through a comprehensive data collection between 2018 and 2019, a total of 1,019 local IH programs are documented in 734 local jurisdictions of 31 states and the District of Columbia. This study summarizes program design nationwide and features distinct patterns in California, Massachusetts, and New Jersey, where state laws largely impact program adoption and production. A subset of 258 programs reported producing about 110,000 inclusionary units, and 123 programs have collected close to $1.8 billion in fees for affordable housing development.
