Housing rights are becoming significant fundamental social and economic human rights. The human dignity comes from the capacity to have decent housing. The study sought to establish the effectiveness of public-private partnerships in providing decent and affordable housing to Mutare residents. The 130 respondents came from Mutare residents, housing cooperatives and the City of Mutare, Zimbabwe. Research data was analysed using the Statisti-cal Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and R software. A Partial Least Squares Path analysis to establish if there is any relationship between cohesive service delivery and Public Private Partnerships (PPP) revealed that there is a positive and significant relationship between them whilst the relationship be-tween self-help housing service delivery and PPP was found to be negative and insignificant. The PPP is critical to address the whole housing value chain, i.e. accessibility and fair distribution of stands, servicing of stands, construction of proper structures and accessibility to proper water, sewer reticulation and roads servicing areas.
