“…However, the progress of the PPP model in developing countries has been slower than in developed economies (Appuhami et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2019) based on the number of PPP projects completed in developing countries when compared to those in developed countries. For example by 2020, in Africa, only 335 PPP projects worth US$ 59 billion had been completed, which include South Africa with 34 projects, Nigeria with 35, Uganda with 30 and Kenya with 22 (National Treasury, 2021;Nduhura, 2019;World Bank, 2019a). Developing countries not only have fewer PPP projects but also a higher number of failed ones (Osei-Kyei & Chan, 2016).…”

“…He also revealed significant tendering-related barriers, notably the absence of standardized PPP procurement documents and procedures and lack of established criteria for partner evaluation, lengthy procurement processes, high costs of bidding, changes in design and specifications and communication gaps. Nduhura (2019), in his study of the Bujagali hydropower project found that existing PPP models have enabled Uganda to improve availability, access, reliability, and quality of power, and reduced the cost of government in extending electricity to its people, although, tariffs and design issues remain key challenges. As a result, he proposed that the Build Own Operate and Transfer (BOOT) model be extended to Design Build Own Operate Transfer (DBOOT) alongside other interventions to improve competitiveness of the hydroelectricity sub-sector.…”

“…From the focus of these studies, we observe that risk management in PPP projects in the context of Uganda has hitherto not been well studied. Previous studies in their approach to the topic had centred on governance (Mugarura, 2019); the role of PPPs (Asasira & Ahimbisibwe, 2018;Settumba, 2022); challenges (Kisitu, 2018;Kyaligonza, 2021); success factors (Alinaitwe, 2011;Alinaitwe & Ayesiga, 2013;Nsasira et al, 2013); competitiveness and performance (Ndandiko, 2010;Nduhura, 2019;Niwabiine, 2019); and stakeholder management (Akampurira et al, 2017;Mwesigwa et al, 2019;Nuwagaba et al, 2022;Twinomuhwezi, 2018).…”

“…A total of 30 PPP contracts worth US$1.9 billion were concluded between 1990 and 2020 in Uganda (Cytonn, 2022;World Bank, 2019a (Mugarura, 2019;Nduhura, 2019;Niwabiine, 2019;World Bank, 2017bYescombe, 2017). Other projects in the pipeline include Kampala-Jinja Expressway, The Uganda Rural Water Development Project, Gulu Logistics Hub, Kampala Waste Management.…”

“…This suboptimal risk identification, allocation and management has resulted in mixed reactions concerning the relevance of PPPs as an alternative model for infrastructure development and increased debates on whether they have delivered their promise (Angumya, 2013;Mugarura, 2019;Nduhura, 2019). This may explain why several PPP projects in Uganda have delayed starting and in others, private investors have failed to commit to these projects (Mugarura, 2019;World Bank, 2019a).…”

Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have been adopted globally to reduce funding gaps amidst an increasing need for public infrastructure. However, they are prone to several risks. Little attention has been paid to this crucial phenomenon in Uganda, despite the rising interest in the use of the PPP model. Through a questionnaire survey with PPP experts in Uganda, 34 principal risks were identified of which the top 10 are construction completion, government corruption, construction cost overrun, land acquisition, delay in project approval and permits, high financing cost, operation cost overrun, inadequate tender competition, procurement risk, and inability to service debt risk. Most of these were found to arise from inadequate experience in PPPs, the complexity of the PPP model, high levels of corruption and the immature domestic financial market. The knowledge of these risks can guide PPP contract negotiations and potential investors in their investment decisions, especially the objective assessment of PPP projects.

ObjectivesThe medical reform in 2009 stimulated the growth of private healthcare organisations in China, but there is still room for their further development in the healthcare market. The objectives of the study were to provide more information about the healthcare market in China and to explore the challenges private healthcare organisations faced.DesignQualitative descriptive study using a web-based open-ended questionnaire and thematic content analysis. Data were collected between 12 February and 20 February 2020.SettingThis study was conducted in China.Participants124 respondents from private healthcare organisations across 20 provinces in China.ResultsOur content analysis identified three themes: (1) functioning and positioning of the healthcare institutions: current private healthcare organisations generally serve as a supplement to public hospitals and focus more on specialised medical and high-end services; (2) institutions’ advantages: private healthcare organisations can flexibly respond to market demands, formulate effective strategies, introduce advanced management concepts and methods, provide personalised and diversified services, and introduce new technologies which can stimulate market vitality and promote healthy competition; and (3) institutions’ challenges: private healthcare organisations face difficulties in professional development and talent cultivation, branding and establishing a reputation, and the policies for institution establishment, tax and medical insurance pose drawbacks to their development.ConclusionThis study illustrates that private healthcare organisations need more government support for further development, such as providing a fairer insurance strategy and taxation policy, affording ground for a more equitable scientific research environment and promotion opportunities, and evaluating reputation score for healthcare institutions.

This research analyzed the determinant of timeliness of local government financial reporting on the financial statements of 508 local governments from 2015 to 2019 financial periods in Indonesia. With secondary data based on the total sampling method, this research used a panel data regression fixed effect model. This study found that financial control and local government revenues positively affected the timeliness of local government financial reporting, local government capital expenditures and the complexity of local governments. Each had an insignificant positive and negative effect on local government financial reporting timeliness. From this study, local governments must increase the capacity of financial supervisors, so the process of financial supervision of local governments can run well, from planning and implementation to reporting on LKPD.
