Public–private partnerships in developing countries: are infrastructures responding to the new ODA strategy?

Abstract: Abstract:The developing world needs far more financing for infrastructure than can be provided by domestic public finances alone and through Official Development Aid (ODA). Around middle 1980s a new strategy based on the use of public-private agreements, relying on ODA to enhance the quality of projects, reduce risks and raise profitability was gradually implemented for the provision of infrastructures and public utilities. This paper evaluates the more typical forms of private sector involvement (PSI) and its… Show more

“…Over the past two decades, the capacity of the Chinese government to provide public services on their own in an effective and efficient way is being questioned and reassessed at various levels and in different form. The main arguments stress that not only are government resources invariably inadequate but also that the quality and efficiency of the services they provide are very often rather poor (Pessoa 2008). Public services are frequently seen as ineffective in resource allocation and poor in management.…”

“…According to Hall and Hubbard (1996, p. 153), while there is a new vocabulary of cities as 'growth machines', of city advertising as 'place making' and of redevelopment as 'revitalization', it is not clear as to how fundamental the shift to entrepreneurism has been. This argument is particularly resonant in cities in the global South where there is a huge deficit in infrastructure funding and governments remain the main source of financing accounting for 70% with the private sector at 22% and official development assistance 8% (Pessoa 2008). Furthermore, there is little consensus as to how effective the new modes of governance are at addressing the fiscal and social problems associated with the modern urban crisis and the growing social polarizations in many cities (Hall and Hubbard 1996).…”

“…There is a pressing need to install new infrastructure in cities in the South in addition to maintaining old ones but finance is a major problem (Pieterse and Hyman 2014;Pessoa 2008;Kirkpatrick and Parker 2004). As observed, cities in developing countries require far more financing for infrastructure than can be provided by domestic public institutions (Pessoa 2008).…”

“…Tačiau kaip rodo daugelio šalių praktika, tinkamai parengus sutartį tarp valstybės (savivaldybės) ir privačios kompanijos bei joje apibrėžus visas atsakomybės ir įsipa-reigojimų sritis, tokio pavojaus nelieka -valstybė moka privačiajam sektoriui už faktiškai vartotojams suteiktas paslaugas, atitinkančias sutartyje apibrėžtą kokybę, o už nekokybiškas paslaugas numatomos sankcijos (Li et al 2005;Roumboutsos, Anagnostopoulos 2008;Eaton et al 2006;Wang et al 2000;Pessoa 2008;Meng 2002;Meidutė 2008b). Kaip teigia Chiara ir Garvin (2008), pasirinkus tokią bendradarbiavimo strategiją, privatus sektorius gali kur kas veiksmingiau perimti jai nebūdingų funkcijų vykdymą.…”
