- Description
- This dissertation explores the effectiveness of Public-Private Partnerships as an alternative approach to the development and maintenance of road infrastructure in Eastern Cape Province, specifically focusing on the Eastern Cape Department of Transport. This study considers the limitations of existing funding models and infrastructural development methods. Furthermore, it highlights the regrettable state of backlog in terms of road maintenance and construction activities in the province. Through a qualitative research approach, this study investigates possible advantages and disadvantages related to PPP implementation, assessing how such partnerships might improve the region’s general economic growth along with its service delivery efficiency levels. It takes into account the legal framework that governs PPPs, governance issues connected with them, and risk management associated with these partnerships thus providing a detailed examination regarding their relevance within the Eastern Cape Province. The results indicate that, although PPPs offer an optimistic answer to the infrastructure problems experienced by the Eastern Cape, effective implementation would need considerable modifications to current administrative practices and proper integration with the present legal regulation. This research is significant for the area of public administration since it sheds light on various funding methods that may improve road networks within one of South Africa’s most impoverished regions.
