Chapter 1: Introduction

Background Of The Study

Public-Private partnerships or PPP relate to perceptions and practices affecting public private sector relationships in ensuring national/global health, development and well-being of the society, and the conceptual aspects of such relationships, including the role of the key players in collaborating to make these partnerships successful or otherwise. In Nigeria and other developing countries, sustainable access to healthcare and other socio-economic services and products can be accomplished through public-private partnerships, where the government delivers the minimum standard of services, products and or care, the private sector brings skills and core competencies, while donors and business bring funding and other resources. Such collaborations will be especially productive in promoting poverty alleviation through micro-finance, enhancing health through partnerships as has been the case with polio eradication and other child immunization efforts. In the efforts to achieve sustainable PPP, the objectives would be to highlight perspectives on development from leaders in civil society, government, business and the media, share information on development alternatives, provide forums for informed debate on related issues, seek to accomplish better understanding of the nature of relationships between governmental and nongovernmental organizations, and introduce conceptual frameworks for understanding such relationships. PPP objectives would also include bridging the information gap between the public and private sector organizations, analysing their capacities and opportunities, and suggesting mechanisms for improving the relationships between the government and the governed/citizenry (Mabogunje 2004 9). For Nigeria in particular, this could be done within the official NEPAD structure, ECOWAS, other regional economic communities in Africa, governments, private sector, civil society and other stakeholders.

Aims and Objectives

Using a comparative study on the critical success factors of PPP in South Africa, and the UAE, this work will identify the most common causes of PPP project failures and slow uptake in Nigeria. With the analysis of data and the review of literature, this work will aim to;

identify the benefits of PPP to the Nigerian economy.

identify the risks of PPP in the Nigerian context.

evaluate the critical success factors of PPP projects in the selected countries.

measure PPP project failure, and determine the reasons for failure or slow uptake in Nigeria.

recommend and define a policy, legal, investment and operating framework in the context of PPP projects in Nigeria.

Hypothesis

Public Private Partnerships, as a procurement strategy, has the potential to significantly improve Nigeria's profound housing and infrastructure shortage.

Scope

In order to achieve a sustainable PPP for ensuring the most effective, productive, compassionate, result-oriented and efficient use of resources, it is imperative that the members or subscribers to the partnership must adopt a single framework of action that ...
