“…The eligible stakeholder sampling pool was identified by CDC and included stakeholders involved in PPP program operations, which includes management, program staff, partners, funding agencies and coalition members [46]. This group bears PPP program implementation experience that has been recognized as an important, yet limited source of PPP evaluation data [1,47]. Professionals identified by the CDC International Laboratory Branch as key stakeholders of the lab-based PPP network carried out global, administrative, or program level design or implementation roles within the three PEPFAR-laboratory strengthening PPPs.…”

“…Public-private partnerships, or PPPs is a term that can be used to describe a broad category of activities and structures involving public and private sectors, defined by the World Health Organization [WHO] broadly as: "wide variety of ventures involving a diversity of arrangements, varying with regard to participants, legal status, governance, management, policy-setting prerogatives" [1]. At minimum, a PPP involves one core public, non-commercial organization and one private or commercial organization that join to share efforts and rewards of the collaboration [2].…”

Collective insights of public-private partnership impacts and sustainability: A qualitative analysis

The global Coronavirus or COVID-19 pandemic exposed the weakness of healthcare systems including laboratory systems and is a call to action for unprecedented collaboration and partnerships to deal with the global crisis. The United States (U.S.) President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) establishes the global HIV/AIDS treatment agenda in alignment with the UNAIDS 90-90-90 treatment targets to achieve epidemic control related to enhanced testing, treatment, and viral suppression. A strategic PEPFAR priority area recognizes that large-scale collective efforts and sharing of resources bear greater potential impact for lasting change than any single organization or entity can achieve alone. An important vehicle utilized within the global public health context is the public-private partnership (PPP) model whereby multiple international organizations forge unified project charters to collectively reach mutually agreed goals. While touted as an ideal mechanism to synthesize resources and maximize gain in numerous applications, little is known from a seasoned stakeholder perspective regarding PPP implementation and sustainability issues. The purpose of this research is to holistically examine perceptions of PPP model sustainability related to inputs and impacts among a collective network of stakeholders experienced with PEPFAR workforce development, laboratory-system strengthening project implementation. Interviews were conducted with frontline stakeholders from public and private sector organizations based in the US and select PEPFAR-supported priority countries. Analysis revealed three dominant themes: PPP impacts, keys of successful collaboration, and logistical challenges and opportunities to enhance sustainability of PPP outcomes in the future.

“…PPPs represent a means to achieve objectives and can be transitional; they need to be adapted to their own context and they cannot be reduced to "a formula" to be applied and followed [10]. This is why we argue that PPP evaluation should mobilize an evaluative research approach that seeks to understand the how and why of the results, rather than a normative evaluation approach that seeks to compare the components of the intervention to standards [13].…”

“…Analysis of these evaluation frameworks has identified the important steps in evaluating the PPP process: analysing the PPP objective(s), the governance process, the planning process and the collaboration process between partners [7]. For example, they emphasized the need for partners to understand their respective motivations and objectives [10]. The quality of PPP outcomes will depend on the quality of its organization.…”

An evaluation tool to strengthen the collaborative process of the public-private partnership in the veterinary domain

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the veterinary domain are widely implemented worldwide and can help to strengthen the capacities of Veterinary Services. Few analyses have been made of these initiatives. This study is aimed at developing an evaluation tool based on participatory approaches and focusing on the quality of PPP processes in the veterinary domain. The tool was divided into ten sections relevant to PPP process organisation and activities. The 44 evaluation criteria and six quality attributes (operationality, relevance, acceptability, inclusiveness, adaptability, and stability) were identified based on literature review and case-study application. The tool was adjusted during four regional PPP training workshops bringing together stakeholders from both public and private sectors. Finally, the tool was validated through an experts’ elicitation process and applied in the field in Paraguay. The tool was developed in a non-normative perspective to help the partners adapt the PPP to their specific context, to maximize the opportunities and minimize the risks of such collaborations, and to formulate adapted recommendations to strengthen and improve the PPP collaborative process and thus the outcomes. In an ex-ante perspective, this tool would also help public and private actors to engage and develop a PPP process following the best possible practices. The aim of this tool is to help decision making in terms of PPP development and implementation in the veterinary domain to ensure the added value and relevance of such a collaborative approach in different countries worldwide.

Health Equity in a Globalizing Era

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Strengthening health systems in poorer countries has long been a focal point in development aid debates. Visionary models of comprehensive primary health care caught the global imagination in the late 1970s but were quickly eclipsed with the rise of neoliberal globalization in the 1980s, truncated into ‘selective’ silos appealing to donor nations. ‘Investing in health’ for economic growth eclipsed more humanitarian principles for health assistance. Corporate philanthropies began to set health agendas resonant with those of a century earlier, while private health care financing and delivery models that grew under neoliberalism’s first wave (structural adjustment) have yet to yield to the evidence of the efficiencies of public health care models. The current push to achieve Universal Health Coverage captures the ongoing tension between the interests of private capital and the need for public goods.
