“…Taking interest in the Middle East specifically is necessary due to its increasing role in worldwide economics, as well as for its peculiarities that differentiate it from the rest of the world [17]. Indeed, private sector investment in the Middle East has been a foundation of development projects since the Islamic revolution and subsequent governmental changes, and the use of the capacities of the private sector in the acquisition of capital assets for projects using the PPP model has been prioritized in the Iranian national budget over the March 2018-March 2019 period [18]. With that in mind, this work tries to answer to these interrelated research questions:…”

et al. 2020

In developing countries, governments are often unable to implement urban infrastructure construction projects (UICPs) on their own, mainly due to budget and financial resource limitations. The participation of the private sector, through public–private partnerships (PPPs), has been considered as an alternative effective method for increasing the efficiency and productivity of urban infrastructure development. However, in many developing countries such as those situated in the Middle East, attracting private sector investments for UICPs uncovers profound challenges that have not ever been comprehensively accounted for and prioritized. To fill this knowledge gap, this study seeks to determine and prioritize the major barriers and risks faced by governments and urban managers in attracting private sector investments through the PPP schemes launched by developing countries in the Middle East. Based on a Delphi study conducted in Iran as an example, the opinions of 60 UICPs experts in both the public and private sectors were collected and analyzed. Results show that technical and organizational barriers and risks were perceived as the most important to private sector participation, followed by economic and financial barriers and risks, and then political and legal barriers and risks.

“…Uninterrupted power supply to the country is the prime responsibility of the policymakers which in turn will result in driving the whole economy through all industries (Chaurey et al, 2012). Due to fiscal constraints, as a policy of government fiscal consolidation (Kang et al, 2019) CEB has been off-loaded from the budget of the Government (Ministry of Finance, 2015). In the meantime, CEB has failed to retain cash flows to invest in projects due to accelerated generation costs (Ceylon Electricity Board, 2017).…”

Although the required capital investments for electricity generation infrastructure from 2018 to 2037 have been projected around USD 14,568 in Sri Lanka, Ceylon Electricity Board is not in a position to meet this requirement due to its negative cash flows. Full private investments are restricted by the law stating that any person to generate capacity above and over of 25 MW, shall Government hold 51% of ownership. Since the funding of power generation is a top urgent priority in the country, this paper investigates the challenges and critical factors involved in going for a public private partnership (PPP) by reviewing the related literature in other countries and identifying main themes that Sri Lanka needs to take into account. Narrative literature review with thematic analysis revealed that 1) Political Instability, 2) State Credibility on policies, 3) Regulatory and legal framework, 4) Transparent and efficient procurement process, 5) Financial Market, 6) Favourable investment environment, and 7) a strong and good private consortium as the mostly influencing macro factors to build PPP for power generation infrastructure projects in Sri Lanka.

“…The fiscal constraints and increasing complexity of public services have led governments to search for alternative service delivery mechanisms. The public-private partnership (PPP) is one type of service arrangement in which the public and private sectors enter into a long-term cooperative relationship for the purpose of delivering a public good or service (Kang, 2019).…”

The study examined the internalization of core-values of New Public Management (NPM) among Local Government Units (LGUs) in the Philippines in their effort to reform the management and operation of public markets. Using Public-Private Partnership (PPP) as a framework of NPM for infrastructure development and service delivery, the study assessed the performance of PPP/BOT Public Markets in addressing the perennial problems of public markets in the Philippines. It inquired whether or not PPP as an instrument of reform has improved the management and operation of public markets.To substantiate the assessment, five pioneering PPP public markets in the country were examined, namely; Mandaluyong Public Market in Mandaluyong City, Carmen and Cogon Public Markets in Cagayan de Oro City, Suki Market in Quezon City, and Bocaue Public Market in Bocaue, Bulacan. It used organization and management, the scope of facilities and services, LGU-revenue income and expenditures, and income of market vendors, and client satisfaction on the quality of facilities and services as performance indicators. The data of the study were obtained through combined research methodologies such as case study, content analysis, ocular inspection, and interviews with the city and municipal administrators, market administrators, market vendors, and officers of market vendors associations.The study shows that while PPP has improved the performance of public markets during the early years of operation, these gains and all advances were not sustained by the LGUs when management and operation of public markets were turned over to them from the private project proponent-operators. The study argued that in order to sustain public-private partnerships in the operation of the public market, it is imperative to institutionalize reforms in the structure, processes, mindsets of the leaders, and stakeholders. The institutionalization of NPM’s core values can be carried out effectively through localization of PPP as a policy so that the necessary legal and institutional frameworks for PPP will be anchored based on the need, strength, and weaknesses of the LGU concerned.The study makes a positive contribution to the on-going discourse on public sector reform in the Philippines particularly at the local level using PPP as a model. It enriches not only the literature of Public Administration but also provides valuable lessons in the praxis of governance.
