The Impact

Modern international and cross-border relations in the sphere of public-private partnership (PPP) undergo transformations caused by globalization processes, which leads to the amendments in their legal regulation. The impact of non-state actors increases. Although the toolset for influencing cross-border relations in the sphere of PPP retains its legal core, it is being extended by the rules established by non-state actors outside the international and national legal systems, and carry no legal weight. For PPP as a form of interaction between the state and private investment and business structures, such transformations are particularly noticeable and require precise legal qualification. The scientific novelty of this research consists in providing definition in the international legal doctrine to Lex PPPs as the regulator of cross-border relations in the sphere of public-private partnership. Based on the dialectical, logical, and formal-legal methods, assessment is given to the role of international organizations in the formation of Lex PPPs. In conclusion, the author clarifies the role of Lex PPPs within the system of regulators of public-private partnership, namely that it should not expel the legal regulation of cross-border relations in the sphere of public-private partnership; as well as offers to seek for the new forms of correlation between international law and Lex PPPs and their consolidation through the international legal regulation of public-private partnership.

The Impact

To control the “uniqueness” risk in Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects of transportation infrastructure, we design a simplified “uniqueness” contract model by incorporating the impact of the initial investment which is based on the Bertrand model. The nonlinear programming method is adopted to derive the optimal “uniqueness” contracts for incumbent private capital, the public, and the social welfare, respectively. The simulation results show that the achievement of the optimal “uniqueness” contract is essentially the result of a compromise between the private capital, the public, and social welfare. The extent to which such a contract reduces the probability of “uniqueness” risk mainly depends on the equilibrium relation between the interests of private capital and the public. The initial investment is not related to the government default when the contract does not take into account the interests of the private capital. Furthermore, the “uniqueness” contracts between private capital and the government are mainly for anticompetitive purpose in the PPP market of transportation infrastructure. Unless the contract terms focus on the improvement of social welfare, entering a “uniqueness” contract will cause social welfare losses.

Abstract Objectives Background: In 2007 the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) collaborated to address concerns about the safety and efficacy of interventions to prevent and treat nutritional iron deficiency (NID) particularly in the context of malaria. The “Iron and Malaria Project” (IMP) addressed how iron might not be safe, iron assessment, and the value of interventions to address NID. This presentation will: Describe the novel approach used to achieve the IMP goals, describe the IMP accomplishments and impacts, and summarize lessons learned. Methods The IMP had: 1) Research Track: NICHD initiated 2 funding opportunity announcements resulting in 10 funded projects; 2) Translation Track: a) consultations with global stakeholders; b) risk: benefit analyses on the use of interventions to prevent and treat NID; c) a collaboration with the CDC to develop standards for a sTfR assay; d) the BOND project to harmonize the process for discovery, development and deployment of nutrient biomarkers; e) the INSPIRE project, a review of extant evidence on reciprocal relationships between nutrition and inflammation; and f) the BRINDA project, a collaboration with the CDC, GAIN, and WHO to study the impact of inflammation on interpretation of biomarkers of iron and other determinants of anemia and develop approaches to account for this interaction. Results Funded grants included 4 basic science projects exploring mechanisms to explain iron and malaria interactions and 6 clinical studies addressing various aspects of the iron malaria relationship. To date, 72 journal publications have resulted. Using the NIH Relative Citation Ratio metric, 2/3 have scientific influence scores ≥the 50th percentile of all NIH-funded research publications and 15 have scores ≥ the 90th percentile. Conclusions The IMP leveraged the attributes of this public-private partnership between BMGF and NICHD/NIH to accomplish its goals. The partnership's complementarity and synergy resulted in broad traction and collaboration with a global community invested in solving the challenges of iron and malaria. Funding Sources BMGF $9.3 million, NIH Office of Dietary Supplements $1.3 million.

The Impact

The economic development of any country depends upon infrastructure of roads and highways but its construction, process and maintenance of roads and highways is not as simple as it seems like as growth of roads and highway projects involves massive capital and time. Nevertheless, the government does not have the resources required for the resolution. Public private partnership (PPP) is the resolution of this problem however, roads and highway projects comprises higher degree of risk for the private players which demoralizes private parties from capitalizing in highway projects. This paper discovers the prevailing literature on risks involved in roads and highway projects and sources of time and cost overrun in roads and highway projects for the purpose of analysis of major risks which effects in time and cost overrun in PPP built roads and highway projects. This paper also defines the impact of recognized risks over and done with questioner survey.

The Impact

Background: Uganda’s government has embraced private provision of social services including health care. The involvement of private providers is an indicator that the public facilities are not sufficient enough to meet the high demands of the ever-increasing population. This has been done through partnership arrangements. This paper discusses the impact of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) in health care outcomes of the local population and opportunities for improving health outcomes, challenges facing private providers in a low income setting.Methodology: Data were collected using qualitative methods in January 2017 through interview (using semi-structured questions) at Ruharo Mission Hospital (RMH) administration, health workers, district health office and used a structured questionnaire for patients/clients. This was a nascent study, with a sample size of 22 respondents. The hospital has three departments; Organized Useful Rehabilitation Services (OURS), General Medical Services (GMS) and Eye Department (ED). All the departments of the hospital were represented in this study.Results: The hospital is a Church of Uganda project and runs a budget of 5 billion shillings ($ 1,351,351.4) annually, had multiple sources of funding including PHC funding annually and that, health services were delivered adequately to clients. Much as some services were accessed at no costs, other services like eye treatment were found expensive on the side of clients. The hospital’s hybrid mode of delivering health services through outreaches and facility-based services was cherished, however it had no ambulance and relied only on a hospital van.Conclusions and Recommendations: Our study concluded that if private providers are supported under the partnership arrangement, they can adequately deliver services to the clients and decongest the public facilities. We recommend that the government devote funds to support the hospital through employing more sub-seconded staff, procuring medicines, and ambulances to enable it to subsidize services especially eye treatment and other services not supported under the partnership.

The Impact

This paper investigates the impact of the adoption of public support on the performance of public–private partnership (PPP) projects as perceived and measured by the different actors involved. In particular, the public support investigated by this study is put-or pay contracts, which are often used in PPP projects financed through project finance to optimize risk allocation. In order to quantify the benefit gained by each party with and without the put-or-pay contract, cash flows of the project have been modeled by using the concept of real option, defined as the right without the obligation to make an action if it is convenient to do so. This concept enabled us to model and quantify the inner flexibility mechanism of put-or-pay contracts. With a put-or-pay agreement signed between the municipality, a (private) owner, and operator of a disposal facility, the owner of the facility has the faculty, without any obligation, to require the payment of penalty, if the municipality fails to meet its obligations. This means that the owner of the facility holds a series of European put options that can be exercised if it is convenient for the holder. The developed model has been used for studying the effectiveness of put-or-pay contracts for financing the treatment plant of a special dispose through project finance, i.e., the plant for disposal of marine plant posidonia.

Subject of research – relations in the process of improving the mechanism of regulation of road development in Ukraine and putting into practice proposals to ensure innovative approaches and modernization of the road system on the basis of public-private partnership are formed. The purpose of the article. The scien- tific and methodological and practical proposals with the purpose of applying the mechanism of regulation of the road economy development as a promising of the national economy have been developed. The methodology of the work. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research is the system of both general scientific and special methods of scientific cognition, fundamental provisions of modern economic theory and practice. In scientific research such methods as mono- graphic in formulating approaches that the development of the road economy de- pends not only on the level of economic development, but also on the influence of regulatory mechanisms that are applied, economic and statistical – in determining and calculating the concession payment for the right to management are used. The results of the work – the scientific results of the improved basis of development of the national economy through the creation of an effective mechanism for the implementation of new rules and tasks in the system of regulation in the field of road economy are proposed for application. Conclusions. We propose modern mea- sures and tools for shaping the innovative environment, and we propose to intro- duce such rules that would meet the interests of the authorities, increase the level of protection of interests of private investors and the state in the implemen- tation of public-private partnership projects. The advantages in developing mech- anisms for guaranteeing public-private partnership project financing by the state partner during the whole project implementation period are substantiated; mecha- nism of fair compensation in case of early termination of the public-private part- nership contract at the initiative of the state partner in order to compensate for the reasonable losses of the private partner. The scientific-methodological and practical proposals for the purpose of application of the mechanism of regulation of the road development are revealed. It is proved that due to the impact of mod- ernization transformations, the public-private partnership can play a dual role as an institutional innovation and has every reason to combine both the modernization of investment activity and the modernization of the regulatory mechanism for the purpose of evolutionary transformations in the leading spheres of the national economy.
