“…Effective project monitoring and preparation for the transfer of projects back to the government at the end of the PPP agreement reflect best practices in the literature. Studies, such as those by Bakhtawar et al (2022) and Zhang et al (2019), stress the significance of performance monitoring to ensure projects adhere to planned standards. Proper preparation for project transfer helps avoid disputes and operational disruptions, aligning with lessons from successful PPP implementations worldwide.…”

Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a vital strategy for addressing infrastructure development challenges worldwide, including in Pakistan. This study explores the challenges and effectiveness of PPP models in the construction sector in Pakistan, focusing on critical aspects of regulatory complexity, changing jurisdiction, coordination issues, financial constraints, and the absence of standardized resources. To gauge the effectiveness of different PPP models, the study examines the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT), Design-Build-Operate-Maintain (DBOM), and Concession Agreement models. The BOT model has proven effective for large-scale infrastructure projects but remains vulnerable to political instability. The DBOM model faces financial and regulatory challenges, while concession agreements may encounter public accountability and stakeholder conflict issues. The study highlights that the choice of an appropriate PPP model in Pakistan should align with project-specific requirements and challenges. It underscores the significance of addressing political risks, regulatory issues, and ensuring transparent communication with stakeholders. In conclusion, the study offers insights into the challenges and effectiveness of PPP models in Pakistan's construction sector. It recommends the need for a coordinated approach among government entities, robust project screening and evaluation, transparent and competitive tendering processes, and thorough project monitoring. Additionally, it calls for the development of comprehensive guidelines and model documents. Future research should consider the contextual variations in different settings to enhance generalizability and employ a combination of data sources to mitigate interview bias. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse on improving PPP implementation in Pakistan, with the potential for broader applicability in similar contexts.

“…At its core, stakeholder theory advocates for a management approach that recognizes and actively engages with all stakeholders, with an emphasis on ethics and fairness. According to this theory, the responsibility of management extends beyond achieving financial targets to also include addressing the legitimate concerns and interests of various stakeholders, such as employees, suppliers, customers, the community, and even competitors [23].…”

More than half of the world's population of over six billion people reside in urban areas, placing increasing responsibility on governments to provide fundamental human necessities, including housing. This challenge is particularly pronounced in Kenya, where many County Government PPP affordable housing initiatives have either failed or been stalled. Both National and County Governments have experienced difficulties in executing these projects, reflecting the nascent stage of PPP application in many underprivileged countries. In Meru County, the Affordable Housing Project (AHP) employs PPP, primarily in the form of joint ventures. This approach distinguishes it from other existing projects and generates a knowledge gap regarding the assessment of the impact of public-private partnerships on the implementation of affordable housing initiatives in this region. The aim of this research was to explore the effects of stakeholder’s management in public private partnership on implementation of affordable housing projects in Meru County, Kenya. Guided by stakeholder theory, the study employed a descriptive research design, collecting data through a structured questionnaire. A proportionate stratified random sampling method was used to select the study sample from County officials, non-governmental organization managers, development partners' managers, and household heads from selected study areas where the projects have been initiated, notably in the Buri, Maweni, Mjini, and Makandara wards. A total of 395 questionnaires were issued to the sampled respondents from a total target of 31978 who included the stakeholders in affordable housing project estates in Meru County that included county official managers in DoLPH (15), NGO’s managers (25), development partners’ managers (5) engaged in affordable housing and household heads (350). The collected data was analyzed and results presented in tables and figures, the qualitative information was presented in prose.

Developing a Performance Evaluation Framework for Public Private Partnership Projects

et al. 2022

The public–private partnership (PPP) is a potential procurement strategy for delivering complex construction projects. However, implementing PPPs has not been explored extensively in developing countries like Pakistan. A performance framework is developed in this study to evaluate the application of PPP projects based on 10 key performance indicators (KPIs) and 41 performance measures (PMs). This framework was reviewed by experts for coverage and relevance, then validated through two case studies involving road construction. A triangulation approach was adopted to collect the relevant data through multiparty focus group sessions, archives, and site observations, which enhances the reliability of the data. Results showed there is a difference in performance for six KPIs, but similar practices were reported for four KPIs. The developed performance evaluation framework (PEF) for PPP projects is suitable for developing countries transitioning toward adopting this procurement strategy.
