Abstract
Zambia, like many other countries, has embraced public-private partnerships (PPPs)
as a project delivery method. The country faces budgetary constraints, which has caused
the maintenance and provision of new infrastructures to be a challenge. PPPs appear to
create opportunities that stimulate investment in infrastructure development and economic
growth. The goal of this study was to highlight the benefits, constraints and risks inherent in
implementing PPP construction projects in Zambia. Using a questionnaire survey to collect
data, the study identified the benefits and confirmed the prevalence of constraints and risks
in the implementation of PPP construction projects in Zambia. The major benefits, constraints
and risks were identified and ranked. There was agreement among survey respondents
regarding the ranking of benefits, constraints and risks regarding construction projects in
Zambia. Appropriate improvements to the regulatory framework were recommended for the
PPP procurement approach to be successfully utilised and implemented in Zambia.
