A Public-Private Partnership Procurement Approach to Sustainable Transport—Zimbabwe Case ()
ABSTRACT
Zimbabwe has serious financial constraints so the only
viable option to procure infrastructure is
through engaging the private sector in public-private partnerships to enhance the chances of
successfully undertaking public projects like sustainable transport.
This study creates the basis for a potential public-private partnership with a
trackless tram/solar energy project in Bulawayo which has multiple advantages
for sustainable development goals. It identifies six other projects in Zimbabwe
that can provide some guidance for developing an appropriate PPP that could
assist procure such infrastructure. The projects are drawn from the three
critical sectors of the economy: power generation, highways/transport, and
water/sanitation. Empirical investigations of these
projects reveal the effectiveness of the PPP concept to deliver infrastructure for emerging economies. This suggests an
ideal PPP arrangement that increases the likelihood of getting projects like
the proposed sustainable transport
project in Bulawayo implemented quickly and efficiently, especially if formulated to incorporate the project’s local socio-economic dynamics.
