Effectiveness Of Public-private Partnerships Research Articles

Private and public interests as factors in the effectiveness of public-private partnership

Cooperation carried out within the framework of public-private partnerships is characterized by high risks of dishonest behavior of the parties to the agreement. The circumstances that encourage dishonest behavior of the state and private partners are considered. The stages of implementation of public-private partnership projects have been established, at which the risk of dishonest behavior is the highest. Recommendations aimed at minimizing such risks are proposed. It is concluded that it is necessary to increase the transparency of ongoing procedures, expand the parameters taken into account and controlled when making decisions within the framework of public-private partnerships, the importance of detailed documentation of the facts of economic life and attract public attention to public-private partnerships.

Importance of PPP in water supply sector in developing countries: The case of Georgia

This article presents an empirical study on the effectiveness of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in the water supply industry in Georgia. The study identifies vital and causal problems within the industry, including outdated infrastructure, lack of technical and financial resources in rural areas, absence of consolidated state policy, and insufficient state subsidies. Through a comprehensive assessment that considers economic, social, and environmental sustainability, as well as stakeholder perspectives, the study evaluates the relative importance of different PPP models. Findings indicate that the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model is highly prioritized due to its reliance on private capital and the preservation of state control. The results contribute to evidence-based decision-making, enabling policymakers to design effective PPP frameworks that address the specific needs and characteristics of the water supply industry in Georgia.

Applying a Commercial Determinants of Health Lens to Understand, Expose and Counter Industry Co-option, Appeasement and Partnership Comment on "'Part of the Solution': Food Corporation Strategies for Regulatory Capture and Legitimacy".

Lacy-Nichols and Williams' examination of the food industry illustrates how it altered its approach from mostly oppositional to regulation to one of appeasement and co-option. This reflection builds upon this by using a commercial determinants of health (CDoH) lens to understand, expose and counter industry co-option, appeasement and partnership strategies that impact public health. Lessons learned from tobacco reveal how tobacco companies maintained public credibility by recruiting scientists to produce industry biased data, co-opting public health groups, gaining access to policy elites and sitting on important government regulatory bodies. Potential counter solutions to food industry appeasement and co-option include (i) understanding corporate actions of health harming industries, (ii) applying mechanisms to minimize industry engagement, (iii) dissecting industry relationship building, and (iv) exposing the negative effects of public private partnerships (PPPs). Such counter-solutions might help to neutralise harmful industry practices, products and policies which currently threaten to undermine healthy food policies.

The Success Factor of Public-Private Partnerships in Malaysia and Nigeria's Housing Sectors

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.

Rural health in the Progressive Era: revisiting the hookworm intervention in the American South.

Objective: In this study, we investigated Progressive Era public health interventions and connected two subsequent efforts to improve outcomes in the American South: the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission's hookworm eradication efforts in the early 1910s and investments in local health infrastructure between the 1910s and the 1930s. We tested whether hookworm eradication had the largest effects in areas that invested in public health and whether county health organizations-cooperative public-private institutional arrangements-impacted the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission program's success. Materials and Methods: The methods used to measure the effects involved estimation of difference-in-difference and triple-difference models across the geographic samples of the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission's surveyed area, the American South, and the United States. Material on hookworm infection rates and activities by the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission is obtained from the Rockefeller Foundation Annual Reports. Material on the activities, spending, and duration of the different county health organizations is obtained from the Public Health Service Bulletin 222 titled, "A history of county health organizations in the United States: 1908-1933". Results: By comparing similar cooperative and independent county health organizations in the American South with the rest of the United States, we find that cooperative efforts are generally important and strengthen the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission's impact on human capital outcomes in the American South. Simultaneously, independent county health organizations produced negative or non-significant effects. Conclusion: The Rockefeller Sanitary Commission is important in guiding local health efforts. Our results are robust in both the short and long runs. This study sheds light on the effectiveness of public-private partnerships in rural public health during the Progressive Era.

The Growth of China’s Non-governmental Space Sector in the Context of Government Support for Public-Private Partnerships: An Assessment of Major Legal Challenges

The effectiveness of public-private partnerships (PPPs) has been emphasized in Chinese policy-making discourse in recent years, and policies have been introduced to promote the adoption of PPPs. A 2016 White Paper on China’s space activities advocated for policies that encourage ‘social forces’ (including non-governmental space entities) to participate in space development. The White Paper proposed amending the government procurement process of space products and services and facilitating cooperation with the private space sector. Furthermore, ‘satellite internet’ was introduced into the scope of space policy as a new type of infrastructure, providing opportunities to establish PPPs in space programs. Nonetheless, the military-dominated nature of space exploration has resulted in a complicated administration and strict supervision of non-governmental entities in order to develop space activities, including launching satellites. In addition, government-owned enterprises, commonly acknowledged as ‘public’ parties of PPPs, are counted among the ‘social forces’ authorized to act as ‘private’ parties in the Chinese PPP market. Therefore, favorable PPP policies are applied to public entities. This impedes the growth of underdeveloped non-governmental space entities, and as such, this is an issue that needs to be addressed. From a national space legislation perspective, clear and supportive rules for non-governmental space activities administration and permissions of operation should be established. Concerning PPP rules, based on fully considering existing laws, measures ought to be taken to improve the procurement measures of space products and services. Moreover, rules concerning the ‘value for money’ evaluation criteria and other details deserve to be created or improved upon to ensure non-governmental participants benefit in PPP programs conducted with public partners.

Regulatory Framework of Concession Contracts and Effectiveness of Public-Private Partnerships in Providing Road Infrastructure

ABSTRACT Despite reforms seeking greater governance over provision of public goods, difficulties in ensuring accountability in hybrid schemes persist. This study investigates the relationship between the regulatory framework and the effectiveness of road concessions in four Latin American countries – Colombia, Chile, Mexico, and Peru – to find a governance mechanism that explains variability of performance results. The study was based on evidence from a nested design containing a quantitative analysis of 77 highway concessions from the 4 countries using a comparative-institutional approach and in-depth tracing 2 case studies using original qualitative data. Findings have important implications for institutional innovations in public administration.

A Critical Analysis of the Effectiveness of Public Private Partnership in Enhancing Good Performance of an Entity

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate factors that cause ZINARA to adopt PPPs, challenges faced in implementing PPP at ZINARA, and the extent to which the resources support through PPP affect ZINARA’s performance in road services delivery. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study made use of qualitative and quantitative data. Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data. Findings: The factors that influenced ZINARA to adopt PPPs were, the need for financial resources, infrastructure development, improving efficiency, reducing poverty, and fueling economic growth. ZINARA was faced with challenges in implementing PPPs with Group Five, and these were: contract renegotiation, performance enforcement, political acceptability, lack of sound regulatory framework, lack of fulfillment of crucial formation requirements, lack of shared vision and win-win relationship, multiple interests of key participants and conflict between public and private sector officials in PPPs. Practical Implications: PPPs have improved ZINARA’s performance in road services delivery through safe travel to road users, improved quality of roads, more facilities in the roads, improved efficiency in road services, clean and attractive roads, improved revenue collection, and improved cost management strategies. Originality/Value: It considers the fact that the effective production of PPP projects was significantly enhanced when the private sector was engaged at ZINARA.

Advice for Food Systems Governance Actors to Decide Whether and How to Engage With the Agri-Food and Beverage Industry to Address Malnutrition Within the Context of Healthy and Sustainable Food Systems Comment on "Challenges to Establish Effective Public-Private Partnerships to Address Malnutrition in All Its Forms".

The effectiveness of public-private partnerships (PPPs) to address malnutrition will depend on the issue, engagement purpose, policy context and actors’ interactions. This commentary offers advice for governments, United Nations (UN) and civil society organizations to decide whether and how to engage with industry actors to improve diets for populations. First, food systems governance actors must acknowledge and reconcile competing visions, harmonize numerous corporate-engagement principles, and support a shared narrative to motivate collective actions toward healthy sustainable diets. Second, food systems governance actors have tools to guide engagement through many alliances, networks, coalitions and multi-stakeholder platforms with different levels of risk and trust. Third, food systems governance actors must prioritize accountability by setting corporate-performance threshold scores to justify private-sector engagement; evaluating engagement processes, outcomes and consequences; using incentives, financial penalties and social media advocacy to accelerate time-bound changes; and revoking UN consultative status for corporate actors who undermine healthy people and planet.

ОРГАНІЗАЦІЙНО-ЕКОНОМІЧНИЙ МЕХАНІЗМ РОЗВИТКУ ДЕРЖАВНО-ПРИВАТНОГО ПАРТНЕРСТВА У СФЕРІ ОХОРОНИ ЗДОРОВ’Я УКРАЇН

The effectiveness of the organizational and economic mechanism for the development of public-private partnership in the fieldof health determines the level of coverage and availability of quality health services among all segments of the population, life expectancy.The need to improve the conceptual, methodological and methodological foundations of the organizational and economic mechanism of health care is of particular importance to ensure sustainable social and economic development of the state.The issue of ensuring the proper functioning of health care is particularly relevant today, given the presence of all humanity in aglobal pandemic, and reflected in the scientific works of many scientists and practitioners.Despite the existence of significant basic and applied research, which is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the use of public-private partnership in various spheres of the national economy, the organizational and economic mechanism of its application in health care remains insufficiently disclosed.The aim of the article is to deepen the conceptual framework and develop practical recommendations necessary for the effective functioning and development of health care through the practical implementation of public-private partnership as one of the key tools for its innovative development.The purpose of developing this organizational and economic mechanism is to create basic organizational and economic conditions aimed at balanced innovative development of health care through the active involvement of private capital and new technologies. The process of building an organizational and economic mechanism for the development of public-private partnership should be systemic in nature, the fragmentary implementation of its individual components will not provide the appropriate level of effectiveness of public-private partnership in health care.

Effectiveness of Public Private Partnerships: A Systematic Literature Review

Questions about the ‘effectiveness’ of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have been raised for quite some time now. Although implementation and performance problems are given some attention while carrying out systematic literature review regarding PPPs, there is no systematic literature review available to the best of our knowledge that analyses/reviews the ways in which the effectiveness of PPPs is measured. This review of 107 articles intends to fill this gap by reviewing the peer-reviewed articles/papers published during the years 2000-2016. It particularly investigated three areas including (a) the ways in which the effectiveness of PPPs is defined, (b) methods used by the researchers to measure the effectiveness of PPPs, and (c) theories/perspectives explaining the effectiveness of PPPs. The results indicated that the effectiveness of PPPs is not clearly defined in the existing literature. Moreover, there is no consensus on what counts as an effective PPP. Regarding the methods of measurement, the overwhelming majority of researchers focused only on the identification of factors as opposed to the actual measurement of effectiveness. With respect to theoretical perspectives, governance theories were used in most cases. Based on the findings of this systematic literature review, it is recommended in the current research to use six broad categories of methods/factors identified as a starting point to measure the effectiveness of PPPs.

PRIVATIZACIÓN DE LAS CÁRCELES – O QUIÉN SE BENEFICIA DE ESTE...

El artículo tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre el proceso de privatización de las cárceles en los últimos 20 años, en el ámbito de la ideología de la “guerra contra las drogas” y su relación con el aumento significativo del encarcelamiento de la población, cuyo motivo, en definitiva, es la comercialización de penas. Se trata de un estudio bibliográfico con autores de criminología crítica. Como resultado, es evidente, especialmente en Brasil, la efectividad de las asociaciones público-privadas que sirven a los intereses ideológicos del capital, señalando la violación de los Derechos Humanos.

РОЗВИТОК ПРАВОВОГО РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ КОНЦЕСІЇ У СФЕРІ ПОВОДЖЕННЯ З ВІДХОДАМИ

The article considers the peculiarities of legal regulation of concession relations in field of waste management in the context of the new Law of Ukraine «On Concession». The main purpose of this paper is to substantiate proposals for the development of the above-mentioned legal regulation. The paper offers to establish special performance indicators, the achievement of which will determine the amount of fee for the operational readiness of waste facility (paid to concessionaire by public partner). Such indicators are increase in volume of separate collection and recycling of waste, reducing volume of biodegradable waste disposal, as well as non-pretreated household waste disposal. The procedure for analyzing the effectiveness of public-private partnership in the form of a concession is specified, taking into account the principles of waste hierarchy, self-sufficiency and proximity. The waste hierarchy will allow a fuller assessment of the environmental, resource, energy, social and other efficiencies of potential concession projects. The principle of proximity can be an important criterion for determining the optimal location of waste facility to be built by concessionaire. It is proposed to approve model concession agreements for the construction and management of waste facilities. By analogy with model lease agreements of state property, all conditions established by model concession agreements for the construction and management of waste facilities it is advisable to divide into changeable (recommended) and unchangeable (mandatory). It is argued the direct inclusion of waste legislation in the legislation, which is not subject to the guarantees of the rights of concessionaire.

Stretching the public purse: budgetary responses to COVID-19 in Canada

PurposeThis paper summarizes the emergency measures taken by Canada in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and discusses the key political, economic, and social factors that influenced the design of these measures.Design/methodology/approachThis paper collects the announcement of emergency measures in the Canadian provincial and federal governments between March 18 and May 30, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and categorizes them by type of emergency response.FindingsCanada has a diversified response of emergency measures mediated by its various provinces. This suggests that Canada may be more robust to biological and economic threats than nations that have less policy diversity.Originality/valueCanada's diversity of emergency measures allows for several different avenues for future research, including countercyclical spending by subnational polities, organizational diversity's effect on resilience, the effect of tax breaks versus direct or indirect payments, effectiveness of public-private partnerships, and the effect of transparency on citizen satisfaction.

How and why policy design matters: understanding the diverging effects of public-private partnerships in education

ABSTRACTDespite Public-Private Partnerships’ (PPPs) growing popularity within education policy circles, research on their effects yields contradictory results. The understanding of PPP effects is limited by the prevalence of generalist analyses that neglect to acknowledge the exceptional heterogeneity of the policy frameworks in which PPPs crystallize. Building on a scoping literature review, this paper aims at identifying patterns of effects of main PPP modalities on education (namely vouchers, charter schools and public subsidies for private schools) by considering the mediating role of policy-design variables. Our results show that PPP configurations oriented at the generation of market-like dynamics are frequently found to exacerbate school segregation and educational inequalities. Conversely, those PPP arrangements less conducive to market competition and those that follow an affirmative action rationale (such as targeted vouchers) are more likely to yield more positive effects on learning outcomes than other types of PPPs, without necessarily undermining equity.

The Effects Of Public Private Partnerships On Local Entrepreneurs In The Context Of Neoliberalism And Local Governance

Neoliberalizmin yükselişi ile yerel girişimcilik olarak tanımlanan yeni bir yönetim düzeninin ortaya çıkması arasında doğrudan bir ilişki vardır. Yeni yerel politika, kamu faaliyet alanının sınırlandırılması ve uluslararası sermaye hareketliliğinin artmasından etkilenmektedir. Bu yüzden sermaye birikimini teşvik etmek ve yerelin karşılaştırmalı üstünlüklerini artırmak için dönüşüm çağrısında bulunulmaktadır. Girişimci yönetişim biçimlerine geçiş, kamu hizmetleri tedariğinde değişimi ve yeni sosyal aktörleri yönetim alanına dâhil etmek için yönetişimin yerel uygulamalara ve düzenlemelere indirgenmesi anlamlarına gelmektedir. Yerel hizmetlerde hem kamu özel sektör işbirliklerine (KÖSİ) hem de girişimciliğin kabiliyetine olan ilgi artmaktadır. Bu çalışmada KÖSİ’lerin yerel girişimcilik için önemi ve KÖSİ yönetim boyutlarının karmaşıklığı analiz edilmiştir. Yerel projeler, farklı beklentileri olan birden fazla oyuncuyu içerdiklerinden oldukça karmaşıktır. Bu durum yerel veya bölgesel düzeyde yönetişim rejimlerinin varlığını gerektirmektedir. KÖSİ'ler finansman programlarını optimize etmek için yerel otoriteleri, finans sektörünü ve kar amacı gütmeyen kuruluşları bir araya getirirler. Bu nedenle bu işbirlikleri yerel finansmanın etkili yollarından biridir. KÖSİ'ler, yerel işletmeler tarafından kolayca erişilebilen ve onların ihtiyaçlarına göre uyarlanmış destek mekanizmaları sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışma, çok oyunculu yönetişimin karmaşıklıklarının yerel projelerin uygulanmasını nasıl etkilediği üzerine teorik bir bakışla odaklanmaktadır.

The effects of public private partnerships on road safety outcomes

Public Private Partnerships (PPP) have become common in providing high-quality infrastructure in many countries worldwide. One of the main reasons for PPP agreements is to improve efficiency and quality in the delivery of public services, as well as to boost investments for expensive projects. Despite PPPs having been particularly widespread in the case of the construction and rehabilitation of high-capacity road infrastructure, their impact in terms of road safety outcomes is still unexplored. This paper studies the effects of PPPs on road safety outcomes by taking advantage of the variety of production models provided in the Spanish highway network. Results based on a panel-data fixed-effects method show that the most relevant aspect influencing road safety outcomes is the quality of design of the road. However, we find evidence suggesting that privately operated highways (PPPs) are positively correlated with better road safety outcomes for roads with similar quality. This finding that should be confirmed by further research raises interest in the mechanisms that could produce this link between management models and road safety.
