Public Private Partnerships No two are alike.
Key Trait: the Public Sector delegates the management of traditional activities to the Private Sector.
Two key types:
1. Purely contractual nature --- rights and obligations are set in contracts.
2. Institutional Nature– set up an new entity and manage it together. Rights and obligations are set by shareholders agreement.
Advantages and Disadvantages
PPP Advantages • Ensure higher quality and timely provision of public
services• Eliminate runaway project costs– reduce public sector
risk• Leverage Private Sector Investment • Less risk of corruption or mismanagement when
operational • Often finds a way to remove debt from public sector
balance sheets
PPP Disadvantages:
• Service delivery– could– cost more than straight procurement
• PPP procurement can be open to corruption, too hasty and/or too slow
• PPP project agreements are long-term, complicated and comparatively inflexible• If conditions change radically they may be hard for
both parties to re-negotiate.
Why? Refocus energy -- Demand driven versus supply driven.
Share risk and rewards between public sector entity and private company. Needs to be an element of ‘pay for performance’
Align focus on outputs versus inputs. Best Value for public systems which are often focused on input factors:– number of teachers and buildings
versus, outputs -- number of graduates, ability of graduates or number of jobs
Accountability can be very high
Allows public sector to innovate and take risks
Overcomes built in resistance in public sector entities by transferring some elements to private sector
Example 1 : Scalable Virtual Services Delivery
• Long Beach, CA using our platform to roll out services to job seekers, current workers and employers
• Bluedrop providing contribution in licensing funding and content development services
• Platform streamlines workflow
• Both invested in development--- some pay tied to results
Example 2: Women’s Entrepreneurship
• Award winning global women’s entrepreneurship
• Public Sector University, Corporate CSR and Bluedrop
• Bluedrop invested– and has repurposed and resold the system around the world – there is a royalty agreement with Arizona State
• Core content is free thanks to Freeport
PPP in e-Learning? Some Thoughts: Kenya spends significantly on education– look at it as ‘KES per well educated graduate’ . PPP should seek to reallocate funds at a lower per student cost to deliver that target Help scale access to quality learning for Kenyan students at all levelsPPP can be used to improve quality of educational delivery if payments are partially tied to outcomes that relate to quality. They can focus on outputs versus inputsFocus on areas of education system that are struggling to keep pace– and channel investment from Buildings to Seed Funding for a PPP. After that, pay based more on outputs than inputs Focus on areas not covered by formal education system. PPP can potentially broaden the training for the workforce to include job hunting skills, entry level skills, apprenticeships (learning on the job), soft skills, sales skills etc.…. PPP can be used to secure partial funding or payment deferral/discount from Private sector companies
What’s worse than training employees and losing them?
Not training them and keeping them.
