ABSTRACT
This study assessed the policy, legal, and institutional frameworks for public private partnership (PPP) implementation in development process based on the perspectives of stakeholders in Ethiopia. An exploratory sequential mixed method was employed. One hundred and twenty-one stakeholders were selected from public, private, existing PPPs, and development partners, Think Thank and civil society organizations (CSOs) were participated. The findings revealed that prevalence of specific legal framework for PPP, prevalence of PPP dedicated public agency, and government guarantee are the most important factors to be put in place to implement PPP in the development process of the country. An inclusion of PPP as part of the development policy, devising a specific legal framework and establishing an independent public agency for PPP is the suggestion forwarded by the stakeholders. The study recommends to incorporate PPP in the existing development policy as one of the development strategies, to devise PPP strategy of the country and specific legal framework of PPP, and to establish a federal PPP agency with the full mandate of undertaking PPP related issues under the Prime Minister’s office.
