PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IN UKRAINE: DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS AND IMPACT ON INFRASTRUCTURE REHABILITATION

In Ukraine, the war has increased the need for urgent infrastructure restoration. Destroyed facilities need to be modernized for the stability of the economy. Public-private partnerships effectively attract investments by mobilizing resources and distributing risks, which increases management efficiency. However, the implementation of public-private partnerships faces challenges, such as an imperfect regulatory framework and corruption, which need to be addressed for further development. The purpose of the study is to explore the possibilities of developing public-private partnerships in Ukraine, taking into account the socio-economic context and the needs of the population. The object of the study is the mechanisms of interaction between the public and private sectors and their impact on the restoration of Ukraine’s infrastructure. The study is based on scientific works, statistical data and regulations. Methods used: morphological, empirical, statistical, analysis and synthesis, structural and logical analysis. Theoretical approaches to the interpretation of the concepts of “public-private partnership” and “public-private partnership” are generalized, and common and distinctive features are outlined. The peculiarities of the legislative and regulatory framework of public-private partnership in Ukraine are determined. The key advantages and disadvantages of the legislative and regulatory framework for public-private partnerships in Ukraine are outlined. The main indicators of economic development of public-private partnerships in Ukraine for 1990-2023 are presented. The main stages of public-private partnership formation in the time period of 2015-2024 are identified and characterized. The study recommends the main factors of impact of public-private partnerships for the restoration of Ukraine’s infrastructure, including attracting private investment, effective project management, risk sharing, innovation, job creation, improving the quality of services, and attracting international partners.

STRATEGIES FOR THE PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF HYPERTENSION IN RURAL COMMUNITIES

Hypertension is a prevalent chronic condition that can lead to serious complications such as cardiovascular disease, stroke and kidney failure. The prevalence of hypertension is especially high in rural communities, where factors such as limited access to health care, lack of health information and socioeconomic conditions can contribute to a lack of control of the disease. Prevention and control strategies tailored to these communities are crucial to reducing the burden of hypertension and improving the overall health of the rural population. This brief explores effective strategies for the prevention and control of hypertension in rural communities, highlighting innovative approaches and associated challenges. The aim of this paper is to review and analyze strategies for the prevention and control of hypertension in rural communities. It aims to identify the main interventions that have proved effective, discuss approaches adapted to the needs and resources of rural communities, and address the challenges faced in implementing these strategies. This is a literature review, using qualitative and quantitative assumptions, using the PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar databases. The health descriptors “Hypertension”, “Hypertension Management in Rural Areas”, “Telemedicine”, “Community Interventions” and “Rural Health Policies” were used to refine the research. The time frame covers the years 2018 to 2022. The focus is to promote a comprehensive understanding of best practices and areas that need more attention to improve the management of hypertension in rural contexts. Preventing and controlling hypertension in rural communities requires a multifaceted approach that takes into account the particularities of these areas, including barriers to accessing healthcare, resource limitations and specific cultural needs. Education is key to preventing hypertension. Awareness programs about risk factors, the importance of regular blood pressure monitoring and lifestyle changes can have a significant impact. Community initiatives such as workshops, lectures and local media campaigns can help raise awareness of hypertension and promote healthy habits. Improving access to healthcare is crucial for hypertension control in rural areas. This can include the implementation of mobile health units, telemedicine and partnerships with health organizations to provide regular medical services and blood pressure monitoring. Community screening programs and regular consultations can help identify and treat cases of hypertension early. Interventions that encourage a healthy diet, rich in fruit, vegetables and low in sodium, as well as regular physical activity, are essential for the prevention and control of hypertension. Nutritional education programs and the promotion of community physical activities, such as walking groups or sports, can be effective in promoting a healthy lifestyle. Thus, many people with hypertension also have other health conditions, such as diabetes or obesity. Integrated strategies that address hypertension alongside other health conditions can improve overall outcomes. This includes chronic disease management programs that provide support for managing multiple health conditions simultaneously. Involving the community in the planning and implementation of prevention and control strategies can increase the acceptance and effectiveness of interventions. Community groups, local leaders and non-governmental organizations can play an important role in promoting health programs and mobilizing resources. The effective implementation of hypertension control strategies in rural communities faces several challenges. Barriers can include a lack of adequate health infrastructure, a shortage of health professionals, limited access to medicines and treatments, and cultural factors that can affect the acceptance of interventions. In addition, logistical and financial difficulties can limit the ability to implement and maintain health programs in remote areas. Therefore, the approach to preventing and controlling hypertension in rural communities must be adapted to the specific needs and characteristics of these areas. Effective strategies include community education and awareness, improving access to health care, promoting a healthy lifestyle and integrated management of comorbidities. Involving the community and overcoming challenges related to infrastructure and resources are critical aspects for the success of these strategies. With a multifaceted and collaborative approach, it is possible to reduce the prevalence and impact of hypertension in rural communities, promoting better health and an improved quality of life for their inhabitants.

Critical Success Factors of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Implementation: A Study in Bangladesh

This study aims to discover the perceptions of the critical success factors (CSFs) of the public and private sectors’ players that influence the implementation of public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure projects in Bangladesh. Methods: A questionnaire survey was adopted to discover public and private sector players’ perceptions of the CSFs and success subfactors (SSF) of PPP projects. Based on the literature review, CSFs and SSFs were identified, and the agreement between respondents from the public and private sectors was tested. A total of 59 responses were collected and examined to reveal the perceived gaps between sectors and rank CSFs and SSFs. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used. The results show that the top-ranking factor was “economic viability”, followed by “appropriate risk allocation”, “sound financial packages”, “favorable investment environment”, and “reliable concessionaire”. It was also found that the perceptions of the public and private sectors were mixed. The key conclusion of this study is that the identified factors must be effectively addressed in order to develop consensus and engage relevant stakeholders in Bangladesh.

Development Of Self-Reliant Peatland Care Villages Based On Participatory Empowerment To Support Peatland Ecosystem Restoration In Teluk Panji Iii Village, Labuhanbatu Selatan Regency, North Sumatra Province

The development of the Peatland Stewardship Village (DMPG) is an effort to restore the peat ecosystem that involves the community independently to increase knowledge, awareness, abilities, and skills. The construction of the DMPG carried out by the Peat Ecosystem Protection and Management Working Team (TKPPEG) Semangat Baru in Teluk Panji III Village received good appreciation from the community and regional stakeholders because of the participatory community empowerment approach in developing the DMPG. TKPPEG Semangat Baru always involves the participation of the community and related stakeholders in the DMPG development process, starting from socialization, group formation, preparation of IMAS and RKM, exposure, implementation of RKM, partnerships, and collaboration. Overall, the TKPPEG Semangat Baru institution is still included in the "Developing" category because the role of the community and support from the Provincial and Regency governments has not been maximized. The Community Work Plan (RKM) from TKPPEG Semangat Baru was successfully implemented through activities that support efforts to improve the environment, gradually improve the economic conditions of local communities, and improve social status, which impacts the restoration of peat ecosystems.

The implementation of Public-Private Partnership in China: A sustainable pathway?

The organizational forms of infrastructure in China are divided into two categories, the traditional Public Procurement Model (PUB) model and Public-Private Partnership(PPP) model. The main difference is the separation or binding of the construction and operation phases. A systematic understanding is needed of how Chinese local governments choose between these two models. In this paper, we take public capital congestion and local government objectives as the entry point to study the effects of both on PPP choice. Firstly, by constructing an endogenous economic growth model under the PPP model, and comparing it with the model under the PUB model, this paper initially explains how the rise in public capital congestion affects the choice of the PPP by growth-oriented local governments. Then the data from prefecture-level cities from 2009-2018 are utilized to conduct empirical tests. We find that urban economic growth pressures have a positive effect on the choice of PPP when the congestion of public capital increases. Furthermore, the implementation of PPP is indeed conducive to economic performance, and its core mechanism is to provide more infrastructure (like roads) rather than tax competition. The PPP model is more sustainable. We are the first to employ both modeling approach and the empirical research to address the implementation of Public-Private Partnership in China. And we have systematically analyzed the conditions and results of PPP selection by local governments. It formulates the Chinese PPP theory.

Lunar distress communications: Interoperability, frequencies, and harmful interference, which normative model for the artemis accords?

A new space era begins with the Artemis Accords. These will allow the return of humans to the Moon. The starting point of this historic period was marked by the signing of this international agreement on October 13, 2020. Eight States are at the origin of these accords: the United States of America, Australia, Canada, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom. Since then, thirteen other governments – including France – have joined this international space program led by NASA. Artemis will require the implementation of a new communication architecture called “LunaNet”, encompassing the search and rescue service known as “LunaSAR”. Therefore, like on Earth, on the Moon, search and rescue of people in distress will require the interoperability of international communications. From a legal point of view, the Artemis Accords are based on existing space law, particularly the 1967 Outer Space Treaty. According to this, Lunar missions shall be conducted for peaceful purposes. Transparency in the implementation of international partnerships is another key principle of this space program. From this, at the operational level, interoperability of the systems based on existing or future standards naturally follows. Beyond the technical or commercial aspects, what takes precedence over all other considerations is the safety of the astronauts working for the completion of the Artemis program. Thus, generally, the possible assistance brought to the astronauts in distress is foreseen in the United Nations treaties and principles on outer space. Regarding the implementation of the Artemis program, personnel will operate on board a spacecraft, a space station, or from the surface of the Moon. This is why NASA plans to implement the Astronaut's Lunar Lifeline, known as Lunar Search and Rescue or LunaSAR. Integrated with the LunaNet system, this system will assist workers in distress. In this study, therefore, we will focus on standards for communications interoperability, in the context of search and rescue of persons in distress. To do so, we will examine the Artemis program through the lens of satellite-assisted Earth search and rescue principles and techniques. In particular, we will focus on the COSPAS-SARSAT alerting service and the International Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue (IAMSAR) Manual. In this context, issues such as, for example, the implementation of the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies of 1967, the Agreement on the Rescue of Astronauts, the Return of Astronauts and the Return of Objects Launched into Outer Space of 1968 and the Agreement Governing the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies of 1979 as well as the protection of SAR frequencies and potential harmful interference will be addressed.

КОНЦЕПТУАЛЬНІ ПРОБЛЕМИ ЗМІСТОВНОЇ ІНТЕРПРЕТАЦІЇ ДЕРЖАВНО-ПРИВАТНОГО ПАРТНЕРСТВА

It has been established that there is still no generally accepted and established definition of public-private partnership in both foreign and domestic literature. In some definitions, the conditional uncertainty of the essence of this concept is deliberately embedded. Thus, the European Investment Bank (EIB) defines a public-private partnership as an agreement between an institution representing public authorities and a private partner, intended for the implementation of public infrastructure projects and public services within the framework of a long-term contract. Since this resolution does not record the nature of such agreements, does not indicate the principles of the relationship between the private and public sectors, then the EIB documents focus, first of all, on the fact that the private sector can receive financial benefits in two ways: payments are made by a state body to a private partner based on the diagnosis of the results of service provision (for example, road availability); the private partner is granted the right to receive revenue from the provision of the service (for example, to introduce and collect tolls for the use of roads). The definitions of the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) are similar and emphasize that a public-private partnership is a long-term contract between the public and private sectors in which significant responsibility rests with the private sector in the field of management, as well as the private sector assumes most of the risks in the implementation of this project. The OECD also emphasizes in its definition the fact that the transfer of risk to a private partner largely depends on the effectiveness of such a project, and that the state's goals are aligned with the private sector's profit-maximizing goals. These definitions are quite cumbersome and detailed, but even they have not become universal and able to cover various options and forms of implementation of public-private partnership. The generalization of the existing approaches to the definition of public-private partnership was further developed, with the selection of three main interpretations: broad (implies the inclusion in the content of the concept of public-private partnership, various options for the interaction of the state and the private sector, aimed at solving any tasks in any spheres of social life); narrow interpretation (presupposes that within the framework of a public-private partnership, the state and business are united to implement a specific investment project regarding those objects that belong to the sphere of public interest and control, for example, related to the production and offer of any public good); contractual (related to the dual nature of the concept of public-private partnership, which involves not only its socio-economic essence, but also its legal one. With this interpretation, the public-private partnership is considered as a specific contract, the subject of which is various works on the construction and use of within the framework of this approach, the concept of public-private partnership is filled with various features and essential conditions of this specific contract, and the subject composition of the participants of contractual relations is also determined). Keywords: relations between private and public sectors, public partner, public-private partnership, private partner, project.

Evaluating the real-world implementation of the Family Nurse Partnership in England: a data linkage study.

The Family Nurse Partnership is an intensive home visiting programme for adolescent mothers. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Family Nurse Partnership on outcomes up to age 7 using national administrative data. We created a linked cohort of all mothers aged 13-19 using data from health, educational and children's social care and defined mothers enrolled in the Family Nurse Partnership or not using Family Nurse Partnership system data. Propensity scores were used to create matched groups for analysis. One hundred and thirty-six local authorities in England with active Family Nurse Partnership sites between 2010 and 2017. Mothers aged 13-19 at last menstrual period with live births between April 2010 and March 2019, living in a Family Nurse Partnership catchment area and their firstborn child(ren). The Family Nurse Partnership includes up to 64 home visits by a family nurse from early pregnancy until the child's second birthday and is combined with usual health and social care. Controls received usual health and social care. Indicators of child maltreatment (hospital admissions for injury/maltreatment, referral to social care services); child health and development (hospital utilisation and education) outcomes and maternal hospital utilisation and educational outcomes up to 7 years following birth. Family Nurse Partnership Information System, Hospital Episode Statistics, National Pupil Database. Of 110,520 eligible mothers, 25,680 (23.2%) were enrolled in the Family Nurse Partnership. Enrolment rates varied across 122 sites (range: 11-68%). Areas with more eligible mothers had lower enrolment rates. Enrolment was higher among mothers aged 13-15 (52%), than 18-19 year-olds (21%). Indicators of child maltreatment: we found no evidence of an association between the Family Nurse Partnership and indicators of child maltreatment, except for an increased rate of unplanned admissions for maltreatment/injury-related diagnoses up to age 2 for children born to Family Nurse Partnership mothers (6.6% vs. 5.7%, relative risk 1.15; 95% confidence interval 1.07 to 1.24). Child health and developmental outcomes: there was weak evidence that children born to Family Nurse Partnership mothers were more likely to achieve a Good Level of Development at age 5 (57.5% vs. 55.4%, relative risk 1.05; 95% confidence interval 1.00 to 1.09). Maternal outcomes: There was some evidence that Family Nurse Partnership mothers were less likely to have a subsequent delivery within 18 months of the index birth (8.4% vs. 9.3%, relative risk 0.92; 95% confidence interval 0.88 to 0.97). Younger and more vulnerable mothers received higher numbers of visits and were more likely to achieve fidelity targets. Meeting the fidelity targets was associated with some outcomes. Bias by indication and variation in the intervention and usual care over time and between areas may have limited our ability to detect effects. Multiple testing may have led to spurious, significant results. This study supports findings from evaluations of the Family Nurse Partnership showing no evidence of benefit for maltreatment outcomes measured in administrative data. Amongst all the outcomes measured, we found weak evidence that the Family Nurse Partnership was associated with improvements in child development at school entry, a reduction in rapid repeat pregnancies and evidence of increased healthcare-seeking in the mother and child. Future evaluations should capture better measures of Family Nurse Partnership interventions and usual care, more information on maternal risk factors and additional outcomes relating to maternal well-being.

The main purpose of the article is to propose a theoretical and methodological approach to the assessment of the innovative-investment potential of a region for the implementation of public-private partnerships. The object of study is the innovative-investment potential of a particular region. To achieve the set goal, the scientific task is posed in the form of developing and implementing an approach to assess the level of innovative-investment potential in the region in order to identify prospects for the implementation of public-private partnerships. The research methodology involves the application of various methods, the key among which is the method of taxonomic analysis. The key components of innovative-investment potential and the indicators for which the assessment was conducted have been identified. Special attention is given to economic-financial indicators. The work of the taxonomic approach in the context of our research is described. The key indicators of assessment of innovative-investment potential for each city in the selected region have been calculated. Standardized values for each calculation result have been determined. A ranking of all cities according to their potential level was carried out, and it was determined which of them has the greatest security potential for the implementation of public-private partnerships. As a result, the obtained data showed the practical value of the proposed assessment method. The research has limitations in the form of taking into account the specifics and information of only one region of the country. Prospects for further research include expanding the regional aspect in conducting assessments.

PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AS A TOOL FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF THE ENERGY SECTOR IN UKRAINE: ANALYSIS, MECHANISM, FINANCIAL REPORTING

Based on the analysis of the dynamics of implementation of public-private partnership (PPP) projects in Ukraine, key problems have been identified and its priorities in financial support for the recovery of the native energy sector have been determined. It is appointed that PPP concession agreements are the main mechanisms for attracting investment in the global electric power industry. The expediency of using the concession model on BOT terms for the implementation of large projects in the energy sector is substantiated, which will contribute to the intensification of investment attraction and will allow to distribute risks between the state and business. Recommendations on the formation of an information platform for participants in the implementation of PPP projects on the basis of disclosure of information on the effectiveness of concession operations in accounting and financial statements have been developed. The tools for the formation of the financial mechanism of public-private partnership, where the priority is budget and venture financing, are substantiated. To make decisions on the implementation of PPP investment projects, an approach to assessing the financial support of project initiatives is recommended, the basis of which is the proposed criteria for compliance with financial security, the choice of funding sources, indicators of scenario analysis and efficiency. The proposed methodical approach to assessing the effectiveness of PPP allows us to assess the synergistic effect, which reflects the totality of economic, social and environmental effects. The formulated recommendations for improving the relationship between the state and business will contribute to the intensification of the attraction of private investment resources on the basis of PPPs for the restoration of the energy sector in Ukraine.

Innovative Governance Dalam Penyelengggaraan Pemerintahan Desa Di Kabupaten Kuantan Singingi (Studi pada Penerapan Aplikasi dan Website Gigades.id)

This research is motivated by the gap in technology, information and communication between villages and cities which causes slow governance in villages. This condition is a challenge for villages to actively participate in the current era of digitalization. The aim of village innovation is to encourage village development of higher quality, effectiveness and efficiency through various activities in village government administration that are more innovative and sensitive to the needs of village communities. This effort can encourage productivity and economic growth in rural communities in a sustainable manner to improve the socio-economic welfare of the community and village independence. However, in the development of village innovation, it has not proceeded according to the plans that have been set. This is because the community's digital awareness is still low, as well as the culture and organizational arrangements of the village government which are not yet fully ready to implement digitalization in the administration of village government. This research aims to analyze and explain innovative governance in the implementation of village government in Kuantan Singingi Regency, as well as identifying obstacles to implementing innovation in the form of the Gigades.id application and website. This research uses the Innovative Governance theory of Sangkala Tahun (2014) which explains that there are 6 criteria for best practices in an innovation, namely impact, partnership, sustainability, leadership and community empowerment, gender equality and social exclusion, innovation in the local context and transferability. This research uses an explanatory qualitative research method with a case study approach that uses data collection techniques through interviews, observation and documentation. The results of this research show that the implementation of village government in Kuantan Singingi Regency has made a breakthrough in the form of innovative governance in the implementation of village government in the form of innovation in the form of the Gigades.id application and website, but it has not been successfully implemented properly by the village government. Findings in the field show that the implementation of partnerships is still formed between the village government and the private sector, the trilogy of good governance in building partnerships has not been implemented well, even though the community has a big role in realizing the implementation of village government. Then the obstacles experienced by this innovation are the lack of socialization carried out by the village government and the private sector to village communities, the low quality of knowledge and innovation skills of village government officials, the inadequate quality of the internet network, and a community culture that is difficult to change.

Situated Partnership: Dynamics of Role Formation in a Research–Practice Partnership

Background or Context: Research–practice partnerships (RPPs) are collaborative efforts between researchers and practitioners aimed at improving educational practices through engagement in research. Previous studies have highlighted the dynamic nature of roles within RPPs, emphasizing the need for role negotiation and adaptation to local contexts. This study builds on existing literature by focusing on the roles of academic faculty within an evolving RPP involving two higher education institutions and 21 schools in Israel. The aim of the RPP was to give participating schools the opportunity to evaluate and understand pedagogical processes and make changes through engagement in school-based research. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the roles of academic faculty within an evolving RPP and understand how these roles develop and adapt over time. The research focused on faculty members’ experiences in supporting schools’ research endeavors, emphasizing the contingent nature of their roles. The study addressed the following research questions: What types of roles are formed for faculty within an RPP? How do faculty roles develop within the RPP? By examining these questions, the study seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of role dynamics in RPPs and provide insights for more effective partnership implementation. Research Design: We explored faculty roles through a fine-grained analysis of their discourse during biweekly meetings, where they reported and reflected on their interactions with practitioners in the schools. These meetings served as a forum for faculty to share their responsibilities and tasks within the partnership and to negotiate and construct their professional identity within the RPP. Data were collected from 24 transcribed meetings, each lasting 90 minutes, and segmented into episodes categorized as “small stories.” We employed a grounded-theory method to code each segment and drew on these findings to further our understanding of how faculty members’ roles were formed within the RPP. Conclusions/Recommendations: Faculty roles within the RPP were not fixed; they were highly contingent on the specific contexts of the participating schools. The concept of “situated partnership” emerged as a key finding, emphasizing the dynamic and context-dependent nature of faculty roles. The study recommends that future RPPs consider the importance of flexibility and adaptability in role definitions, allowing for the evolution of roles based on local contexts.

Analysis of the Advancement of Public-Private Partnership in Ukraine

Introduction. The significant amount of destruction caused by the war in Ukraine necessitates the involvement of all forms of financial and organizational support for the country's reconstruction process. A tried-and-tested method of attracting resources to this process is a public-private partnership. The intensification of public-private partnerships aims to meet the basic needs of the population during martial law before creating the necessary conditions for economic recovery after the war. Since the war led to the stagnation of the specified process, the obstacles and peculiarities of public-private partnerships in this period need to be researched.
 Aim and tasks. The purpose of this study is to analyse the impact of martial law conditions on the activation of public-private partnerships to reveal its role in the recovery of the country's economy based on the analysis of available data to identify trends and significant results that can shed light on the activation of the public-private partnership process. This determines the following tasks: to investigate obstacles to the activation of public-private partnership from 2021 to this time, and to establish peculiarities, urgent directions, and prerequisites for implementing projects, measures, methods, and forms of public-private partnership in the specified period.
 Results. The analysis showed that, in recent years, the contractual discipline of partnership projects has significantly deteriorated, and the range of directions for their implementation has narrowed and does not correspond to the priorities specified in the legislation. Thus, in 2021, only 16% of agreements were realized, 16.6% were terminated, and 61.6% still needed to be implemented. Directions for their implementation are not urgent in wartime conditions. Business activity is restrained by the risks of war, incomplete compliance of the legal framework with the conditions of war, and the intensification of illegal actions against investment objects. In total, 363 court cases related to raiding were initiated in 2023, reflecting a two-fold increase compared to 2022. The identified peculiarities, directions, and prerequisites for the implementation of public-private partnerships intensify the implementation process.
 Conclusions. Measures to reduce risks and change the approaches to their distribution in partnership agreements have been proposed. It is proposed to introduce an institute of small investors, which will strengthen public control of public-private partnership projects and ensure the attraction of additional private investments in the process of rebuilding the country.

Critical Success Factors for the Implementation of Public-Private Partnerships in Zimbabwe's State Universities

A weakness of the extant Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) literature to date has been its normative approach to the subject, creating in effect, a 'one size fits all view' of the preconditions or Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for the implementation of PPPs yet they vary with the context and sector. This study challenges the existing prominent CSFs model for the implementation of PPP which it perceives to be broader and biased towards economic infrastructure in rich industrial nations and excludes the realities of post-colonial third world countries. The research developed a refined sector-specific Educational Infrastructure Critical Success Factor Model (EICSFM) that will inform effective implementation of educational infrastructure PPPs in Zimbabwe state universities. Validated suggestions from research participants were compared to the existing model used to guide this study and results showed that some of the suggested CSFs for PPPs in Zimbabwe state universities tallies with this extant widely accepted CSFs model for PPPs, whereas some differ. The new suggested emerging sector-specific CSFs for effective implementation of PPPs in state universities include; the need for state universities to have absolute autonomy, the establishment of institutional PPP Committees, state universities to be creative and aggressive, vibrant leadership at state universities, universities to have good business orientation, the establishment of innovative PPPs models for educational infrastructure projects (social infrastructure projects), the creation of project bankability and attractiveness to investors, the need for political will and creation of trust. Comparing such suggestions to the extant CSFs model, the study concluded that even though some these preconditions for successful implementation of PPPs may be similar to some of the existing ones, their application is not similar but context-based. The study thus recommends governments avoid a ‘one size fits all’ perception and approach, but rather encompass sector-specific considerations when adopting and implementing PPPs as an alternative funding option for infrastructure development.
