This article analyses the effect of political factors on the use of Public Private Partnerships in developing countries. According to a sample of 80 low- and middle-income countries over the period 1995–2017, our findings suggest that Public Private Partnership projects are affected by political ideology, the strength of the government and electoral cycles. Concretely, they tend to be used by left-wing governments to a greater extent than governments with other ideologies. Public Private Partnerships also tend to be more frequently used by fragmented governments and when there is greater political competition. There is also some evidence (although slight) on the relevance of the proximity of elections in explaining Public Private Partnerships in developing countries.

In spite of the rise in the global adoption of public private partnerships, developing countries have failed to attract private investments in equally measure as their developed partners. This has impacted on infrastructural financing in developing countries. The current study sought to establish how market risks influence the performance of public private partnership renewable energy projects. The study adopted a pragmatic paradigm and employed a mixed methods approach, correlational and descriptive survey design. Quantitative data was collected by use of a self-administered questionnaire and while an interview guide was used to collect qualitative data after piloting and reliability established. A sample size of 263 respondents was drawn from a target population of 769 using the Yamane formula. For descriptive statistics the study used the mean and standard deviation. For inferential statistics the study used Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation (r) and Multiple Regression while the F-tests were used in hypothesis testing. The study established a significant influence of market risks on the performance of public private partnerships renewable energy projects F (1,204) =104.689, P=0.000˂ 0.05.  H0 was consequently rejected. Based on this finding the study recommends hedging measures to promote public private partnerships

Care System

India stands on 67<sup>th</sup> position out of 133 (approx) developing countries with regard to the number of doctors, while stands on 75<sup>th</sup> position with respect to number of nurses. Out of total healthcare spending in India, the government owned health facilities accounts for only 20% in comparison to 80% of private sector. Over 72.2% of Indian population lives in rural areas under poor and unsatisfactory environmental conditions, with high levels of openness to diseases and ill health. A significant proportion of poor in India are destitute due to lack of affordability to the services of private hospitals, characterized by highly qualified doctors and costly equipments, whereas public hospitals are noticeable by insufficient number of facilities, lack of personnel, medicines along with long queues which further highlights economical disparity problems of Indian people to thrash about the health related problems. As per the NFHS 2 data, only 43% of the urban poor children are fully immunized by the completion of one year of age. The percentage of severely underweight children among the urban poor is 23.0 which is twice the urban average (11.6%) and five times (4.5%) that of urban high income group. The vast majority of the country suffers from a poor standard of healthcare infrastructure which has not kept up with the growing economy. The only hope for the improvement in condition of the health care system of developing countries can be the mixture of public –private through Public Private Partnership. This paper aims to examine the current status of health infrastructure in developing countries like India, about the challenges lying in front of Government in developing health care system, identifying critical gap and requirements in Health services besides the comparison with other developing economies. It also seeks to examine the socio-economic environment of developing country, attracted towards private sector participation in health care development and review of potential benefits and risk involved, to ensure success and sustainability of Public Private Partnership.
