Abstract
With growing needs for infrastructure financing, many economies are turning to offbalance-sheet financing. In Uganda, for example, the ministry in charge of finance has been
trying to find ways to implement projects funded using public–private partnership (PPP)
arrangements. PPPs are risk-sharing investments in the provision of public goods and services,
seen by governments as a means of launching investment programmes that would not be
possible in reasonable amounts of time within the available public-sector budget. However,
there has been no in-depth analysis of the factors that are likely to affect the success of PPP
projects in developing countries. The objective of the present study is to address this gap and
contribute to the knowledge base of success factors for PPP projects in developing countries,
using Uganda as a base for data collection. Success factors were identified from the
literature and validated using interviews with the three major types of stakeholders in the
construction industry, i.e., contractors who represent the private sector and representatives
of financial institutions and government departments, who are largely charged with the
construction of public facilities. Using questionnaire surveys, the various factors were rated.
The factors were then ranked in terms of the importance of the factors for each of the parties
involved, using the coefficient of variation. A competitive procurement process, a wellorganised private sector, the availability of competent personnel to participate in PPP
project implementation, and good governance are the most important cross-cutting factors
identified.
