Critical Success Factors on PPP Water Project in a Developing Country: Evidence from Indonesia

The Journal of Asian Finance, Economics and Business, 2020

This study aims to explore the critical success factors of the Water Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Projects in developing country with evidence from Indonesia. We all know that water is a basic need and therefore it becomes very important for the governments especially in the developing countries to develop and formulate a comprehensive water policy to deliver and manage the water services in the most appropriate manner as well tackle several challenges such as budget and project efficiency. In this context, PPP is a promising scheme to address the water problems, hence it becomes important to reveal the success factors of water PPP projects. An Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) questionnaire built from delphi methods is used to capture the perception of the relevant stakeholders in relation to the success factors. The results of this study show the most critical success factors in PPP water projects is the support and acceptance of the stakeholders from the community, whereas the private and public entities are the the second and third important factors. These findings contribute to the success of the PPP stakeholders by enhancing the policy-making decision process and by executing the water policies to support the development of PPP in the Water Sector.

Factor analysis of critical success factors for water infrastructure projects delivered under public–private partnerships

Journal of Financial Management of Property and Construction, 2019

Purpose The role of public–private partnerships (PPP) as a strategic initiative to improve and accelerate service delivery in the form of newly built and revitalised water infrastructure assets in developing countries cannot be over-emphasised. Hence, the purpose of this study is to assess and highlight the importance of critical success factors for water infrastructure projects delivered under public–private partnerships. Design/methodology/approach A survey design was used and a questionnaire was administered to stakeholders who have participated in delivering water infrastructure assets in South Africa. Out of 150 administered questionnaires, only 91 were returned and usable for analyses, representing a 61 per cent response rate. The data gathered were then analysed using descriptive and factor analysis. Findings The study revealed that thorough planning for project viability, high levels of transparency and accountability and a legal framework stipulating policy continuity are t...

Relationship Between Critical Success Factors for Public Private Partnership (PPP) and Sustainable PPP Project Performance

Journal of social research development, 2022

Sustainable public-private partnership project performance is great challenge for project management domain. This study aims to investigate relationship between critical success factors for public-private partnership & sustainable public-private partnership project performance. CSF theory has been used to evaluate relationship. Quantitative approach has been used to determine the link between the study variables. Cross-sectional data with a primary method for data collection is used. An adapted questionnaire is used to get the data. The correlation analysis between study variables provides empirical evidence about the significant relationship between CSFs and sustainable PPP project performance. The results therefore provide significant information in deciding about the desired relationship and reaching the conclusion. The study results can be used by researchers and policymakers for the sustainable PPP projects performance and based upon the relationship strength CSFs can be accorded preferences.

IMPLEMENTING PPP WATER SUPPLY PROJECTS IN GHANA: A MODEL OF CSFs-Ameyaw E. E1., and Chan, A. P.C2.

The Public-private partnership (PPP) concept has attracted the attention of the Ghanaian government, because it is viewed as a reform tool for resolving underinvestment, inefficiency and absence of dynamism in water supply infrastructure services. Despite the mixed results, to date there has been no comprehensive study on the requirements for their successful implementation. This research defines a set of factors that, when given special and continual attention, would ensure successful implementation of PPP water supply projects. The perceived critical success factors (CSFs) were initially derived from six project cases and extant literature, and verified through a two-round Delphi survey. Factor analysis established five critical success factor groups (CSFGs) as commitment of partners, strength of consortium, asset quality and social support, capacity building, and national PPP unit. These principal factors were then modelled using fuzzy synthetic evaluation method and the model output showed that, overall, these factors have a ‘very high’ positive impact on successful implementation of water based PPPs. It is hoped that this study will trigger policy development towards PPP practice in Ghana, because these findings have wider implications for legal and regulatory systems, public sector capacity, financing, public procurement, and politics.

Review of studies on the Critical Success Factors for Public–Private Partnership (PPP) projects from 1990 to 2013

International Journal of Project Management, 2015

The Critical Success Factors for Public-Private Partnership is a major research interest worldwide therefore this paper aims to methodically review studies on the CSFs for implementing PPP from some selected top tier academic journals from 1990 to 2013 (years inclusive). The search results indicated an increased research interest in the exploration of PPP CSFs since 1990. The mostly identified CSFs are risk allocation and sharing, strong private consortium, political support, community/public support and transparent procurement. It was further noticed that Australia, the U.K., China and Hong Kong have been the countries of focus for most research studies on PPP CSFs. Finally the research approaches adopted are case study, questionnaire survey and mixed methods. The findings revealed provide an overview of CSFs for PPPs in order to enhance future implementations. Moreover a checklist of CSFs for PPPs has been developed, which could be adopted for further empirical studies.

Designing and Managing Public-Private Partnership in the Water Sector in Big Cities of the Developing World

Handbook of Research on Urban Governance and Management in the Developing World

The chapter examines the available designs and management styles of public-private partnership (PPP) in the water sector and how they can be used to realize the desired outcomes. The chapter applies a qualitative approach based on deductive methods where the design and management styles of PPP in water sector are analyzed through a review of documents from different sources. The chapter concludes that different PPP designs and management styles can be adopted according to the nature and objectives of the intended PPP venture. This reflects that there is not a universally perfect model that can be claimed to be the best for ensuring successful PPP. However, the success or failure of a PPP project partly depends on how the designing was done to meet the intended goal and how management of the joint venture is done to balance the interests of the parties involved.

Assessing Critical Success Factors for PPP Water Project in Indonesia: Lessons from West Semarang

Policy & Governance Review

A very low success rate of PPP infrastructure projects between 2005 and 2015 has encouraged the Indonesian government to adopt the BOT scheme as the main strategy to accelerate the progress. Although the National Government has attempted to amend the presidential regulations three times in a row, only one out of seven priority national water supply projects reached a financial close and started the project. Using Ameyaw and Chan’s theoretical framework (2016), this article examines the case of West Semarang as a leading example to improve understanding of the key success factors for successful PPP implementation in Indonesia’s drinking water supply sector. Multi- perspective data, incorporating views of national and local actors and relevant government documents, were analyzed for the purpose of this study. The findings highlight five critical success factors: Strong commitment from the contracting agency, as well as local and national government, experienced project partners, long-...

Factors contributing to successful public private partnership projects

Journal of Facilities Management, 2012

PurposeWith the increasing interest in public private partnership (PPP), there is a need to investigate the factors contributing to successful delivery of PPP projects. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the perceptions of respondents from Hong Kong, Australia and the UK on the importance of 18 such factors.Design/methodology/approachAn empirical questionnaire survey was conducted in Hong Kong and Australia.

These success factors included: “Commitment and responsibility of public and private sectors”; “Strong and good private consortium”; and “Appropriate risk alloca...

Factors Affecting the Operational Performance of Public Private Partnership (PPP) Projects: Cases in Malaysia

International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences, 2017

The Implementation of Public Private Partnership (PPP) Programme in Malaysia aims to improve the delivery of infrastructure facilities and services for the public sectors. Hence, it is vital to ensure the success of PPP projects by monitoring the projects' performance to earn value for money (VFM). However, there are several factors influencing the PPP projects' performance as deliberated by previous scholars. Among these factors are lack of building facility management, lack of performance measurement systems and low monitoring levels which would affect the success of PPP projects especially at the operational stage. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to determine the factors affecting the operational performance of PPP projects in Malaysia. A qualitative approach of semi-structured interviews from selected case studies was adopted. A purposive sampling technique has been chosen which involves PPP experts as a sample population. The data was analysed using Atlas.ti8© qualitative analysis software. From the findings, authors revealed eight factors contributed to the poor projects' performance namely; defects occurrence, lack of competency among staff or person in charge in PPP, service delivery failure, lack of strategy in assessing performance, lack of monitoring, lack of experience and understanding of PPP among stakeholders, and poor management. The findings of this study may benefit practitioners to further improve the operational performance by eliminating or minimizing factors that affect the successful implementation of PPP projects in Malaysia.

Stakeholders’ Perspectives on the Success Criteria for Public-Private Partnership Projects

International Journal of Strategic Property Management, 2018

Given the complexity and wide stakeholder interests in public-private partnership (PPP) projects, different parties have different expectations and definitions of PPP project success. This paper explores the perceptual differences on the success criteria for PPP projects among PPP stakeholders. A questionnaire survey was conducted with targeted international PPP experts from the academic, public and private sectors. The research findings show that each stakeholder group considers effective risk management as the most critical success criterion. Moreover, the public and private sectors consider meeting output specifications as the second most critical criteria, whereas the academic sector considers satisfying the need for public facility/service. Further analysis using non parametric tests shows significant differences on the ranking of the criterion, “satisfying the need for public facility/service” between the public and private sectors and between academic and private sectors.
