By: Hooja, Rakesh.
Material type:
ArticlePublisher: 2008Description: p.485-495.Subject(s): Public private partnership
In:
Indian Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: Public Private Partnership in the social sector cannot be managed as purely commercial entities. The government agencies and the private partner need to develop sensitivity towards social issues. If the desired benefits of PPP in social sectors like education and health are to be delivered, the entire PPP mode or approach developed by the finance and planning ministries or departments in government for mega infrastructure projects, and as reflected in various state PPP policies and in the types of training being given to the government functionaries may not prove conductive. Different types of strategies and sector specific methodologies should separately be evolved for planning and implementing such projects which are different from the PPP strategies evolved for mega and large infrastructure projects. For this reason administrators and managers in both the public organisation and in the private organisation need to be sensitised or trained in setting up joint decision-making, coordination and dispute redressal mechanisms. - Reproduced.
