    Applicability of public private partnerships in development of infrastructure in higher institutions of learning in Uganda
    (Kyambogo University (un published work), 2019-11) Mabonga, Sylvia Namakoye
    Public Private Partnership system is considered an innovative finance strategy which offers good prospects for global construction industry. Yet, since the adoption of the system in Uganda, the benefits have not been fully realized. This research, therefore aimed at establishing the extent of use of the Public Private Partnerships, the question of continuity or and starting to use it, inspirations and barriers affecting its applicability in higher institutions of learning in Uganda. The study adopted a cross sectional survey research design, with both quantitative and qualitative approaches. With a sample size of 138 respondents that were purposively selected, regression and correlation analyses were performed to establish the significance of the bio-data and inspirations to show the determination to continuation of the PPP system. The survey results show that PPPs have only been embraced to a minimal extent of 4% in higher institutions of learning in Uganda. Further analysis showed there was interest to continue or start using PPPs. Inspirations were established as; availability of funds for development, completed within stipulated time, cost and transfer of all risk to the contracting party in fig. 4.12. Barriers were found as; PPPs projects are feared to be complex and risky, lack of expertise on establishing and managing projects, lack of legislation or compatibility with the existing procurement ordinances and lack of political support. This research can be impactful to policymakers to adopt when implementing future projects by use of a developed framework in fig. 4.15 that would offer solutions to the identified barriers. Key words: Barriers, Continuity, Development, Infrastructure, Inspirations, Public Private Partnerships.
