“…Despite decades of research, no one seems to know for sure what PPPs are, owing to the fact that they are best described as a 'phenomenon' as opposed to one technique (Hodge and Greve 2009). One characterization often cited in the literature is that by van Ham and Koppenjan (2001, 598), who define PPPs as 'cooperation of some sort of durability between public and private actors in which they jointly develop products and services and share risks, costs and resources which are connected with these products'.…”

Joint venture public-private partnerships (PPPs) allow partners to share in the risks and rewards of joint production. But the literature offers little theoretical guidance on assessing performance and accountability in this type of PPP. This article fills this gap by examining joint ventures as PPPs and formulates a comprehensive performance evaluation framework. Its application to the case of Hong Kong's Disneyland Resort reveals a project that has endured several challenges related to achieving objectives, ensuring cooperation among partners, and upholding principles of democratic accountability. Outcomes from this study offer new insight into an underexplored aspect of PPP research.

Transportation financing public-private partnerships (P3s) are a common practice in many countries. However, they represent a relatively new approach to transportation infrastructure financing for state and local governments in the United States. In a transportation financing P3 project, a private sector partner designs-builds-finances-operates-maintains (DBFOM) a transportation infrastructure asset (road, highway, bridge, tunnel, etc.) with an emphasis on financing. Under this type of arrangement, the private sector partner is primarily responsible for securing all or substantially all of the funding necessary to construct new transportation infrastructure and/or rehabilitate existing transportation infrastructure. This study reviews the international experience of national and sub-national governments with transportation financing P3s. The primary purpose of this study is to identify internationally recommended best practices in transportation financing P3s. Based upon the study findings, a checklist in then proposed that can be used by U.S. state and local governments to assess their current or proposed transportation financing P3 policies and procedures. The article makes a contribution to the literature on transportation financing P3s by bringing together for the first time internationally recommended best practices in ten major areas.

“…Evaluations of actual PPP experience can illuminate the mechanisms by which a PPP may contribute to these goals. 10 From the private sector perspective, the PPP provides an opportunity to gain profit, stimulate market growth, and be seen as a solution provider, 2 and the public sector partner gains access to private financing and innovative management. Where goals align, companies may be seen as helping to meet public needs and save lives.…”

Hospital Public–Private Partnerships in Low Resource Settings: Perceptions of How the Lesotho PPP Transformed Management Systems and Performance

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) seek to expand access to quality health services in ways that best leverage the capacities and resources of both sectors. There are few examples of PPPs in the hospital sector in developing countries, and little is known about how the involvement of the private sector transforms the delivery of health services in this context. In 2006, the government of Lesotho adopted a PPP approach for the health sector, contracting out to design, build, and operate a hospital network in its capital district. This case study examines differences between a government-run hospital and the PPP-run hospital that replaced it, using in-depth interviews with key informants, observation of management systems, and document review. Key informants emphasized changes in infrastructure, communication, human resource management, and organizational culture that improved quality and demand for services. Important drivers of improved performance included better defined policies and procedures, empowerment and training of managers and staff, and increased accountability. Well-functioning support systems kept the hospital clean and equipment functioning, reduced stock-outs, and allowed staff to do the jobs they were trained to do. The Lesotho PPP model provides insight into the mechanisms by which publicprivate partnerships may increase access and quality of care.
