Although public-private partnership (PPP) is regarded as one of the key effective tools in the development of many countries, various challenges surrounding PPPs are not well understood. This paper explores nine key challenges in PPP implementation: (1) different organizational cultures and goals between the partners, (2) poor institutional environment and support, (3) weak political and legal frameworks, (4) unreliable mechanisms for sharing risk and responsibility, (5) inadequate procedures for the selection of PPP partners, (6) inconsistency between resource inputs and quality, (7) inadequate monitoring and evaluation of PPP processes, (8) lack of transparency, and (9) the inherent nature of PPPs. This paper aims to provide the perceptions in the existing literature on many of these challenges, as well as provide solutions to each challenge.

Theoretic aspects of the formation and development of public-private partnership (PPP) are studied. By using a systemic approach, it is determined that the most important factor in improving the efficiency of public-private partnership is its institutional support. It is substantiated that globally, the PPP is mostly initiated by public authorities, which can be explained by a number of reasons. Firstly, public authorities are responsible for the country's strategic development. Secondly, public authorities formulate "rules of the game" for businesses and individuals, plan capital investments, and select PPP entities that are a priority in terms of public interest. In fact, it is the state that undertakes to address objectives facing society. Therefore, nowadays the importance of creating a favorable institutional environment to develop PPPs is recognized at all the levels of economic management and is emphasized in the scientific community. It is proved that the interests of public authorities, private businesses and the community are reconciled through the complementation of political, legal, and socio-economic norms and rules of conduct. The functions of public authorities at the national and regional levels of government are systematized.

The term partnership is increasingly used by governments, industry, community organizations and schools in supporting their daily activities. Similar to the terms ICT and learning, partnerships are now ubiquitous in policy discourse. Yet, the term remains ill-defined and ambiguous. This chapter reviews and reflects on a government-led industry-school partnership initiative in the state of Queensland, Australia, to understand how the concept was applied and the consequences. PPP principles derived from the literature were used as a framework to review this initiative. The methodology of this qualitative case study involved consultations with stakeholders and an analysis of Gateway schools' policy documents, and research literature. The review suggests that despite the use of terminology akin to PPP projects in Gateway school program and policy documents, the implicit suggestion that this initiative is a public-private partnership can be interpreted as partially tenable. The majority of principles shaping a PPP have not been considered in any significant manner in the Gateway schools program. Although the review recognizes the legitimate and sincere purpose of the Gateway schools program, a more explicit adoption of a PPP framework during the design, monitoring, and evaluation stages could have strengthened the initiative in terms of outcomes, benefits, and sustainability.

The development of the transport infrastructure of the region remains an important task, which today is solved by means of the mechanism of public-private partnership (PPP). At present, both a sufficient institutional environment and the regulatory support for the implementation of public-private partnership projects have already been created. Kherson region, having an average level of development of transport infrastructure, de facto occupies the near-border position. Therefore, the level of development of infrastructure of the region (in particular, road economy) is of significant strategic importance for the security of the State. The main tasks for the development of transport infrastructure of Kherson region and possible directions of implementation of infrastructure projects are defined. The study showed that only two projects that are not infrastructural are implemented on the basis of PPP in Kherson region. However, the concession of Kherson seaport has been launched – this project is pilot not only in the region, but also in Ukraine. Concluding a concession agreement in seaports is a complex and long-term procedure. Important in the agreement is the determination of the amount of concession payments and the distribution of risks between the project participants. Typically, concessionaires are large international companies (cargo owners or shipowners) or domestic industrial and financial groups that dictate the terms of the contract, so, accordingly, there may be a conflict of interest. This publication defines the essential conditions of this concession project. PPP projects in the road sphere are promising, which should solve a number of problems of the region. The airport «Kherson» is described as a concession object, the scheme of the PPP mechanism concerning it is proposed. It is determined that public-private partnership in the sphere of railway infrastructure is in the process of formation and determination of forms of cooperation.

Introduction. To ensure the proper functioning of the financial mechanism of public-private partnership, it is necessary to create an organizational and institutional environment. Without it, it is impossible to determine the most important vectors of development of this mechanism, as well as the benchmarks by which the formation and selection of the most effective economic and social institutions. The purpose of the paper is to study the organizational and institutional aspects of the development of the financial mechanism of public-private partnership, to identify the main problems, as well as to justify measures to address them. Results. The structure of the organizational and institutional environment of the financial mechanism of public-private partnership in Ukraine is outlined, which consists of: organizational and managerial, financial, scientific-expert and public environment. The first includes public authorities and local governments that form state and local policies in the field of public-private partnership, as well as monitor its implementation. The second includes financial institutions that facilitate the financing of investment projects that are not attractive enough for private business in terms of profitability and risk. The third includes research institutions, expert and consulting organizations, the purpose of which is to provide information and consulting services. The fourth includes civil society institutions, which should participate in the formation of the components of the financial mechanism of public-private partnership, as well as control the process of its functioning and the achievement of planned tasks by partners. It is argued that the development of the institutional environment of the financial mechanism of public-private partnership needs state support. Conclusion. It is substantiated that the effectiveness of the financial mechanism of public-private partnership depends on the organizational and institutional environment, which clearly regulates the rights, responsibilities, sequence of actions reflected in coordinated legislation and allows to take into account the specific regional or sectoral characteristics of the country.

The authors make an attempt to establish a relationship between the effectiveness of the institution of public-private partnership (PPP) and its ability to act as a development tool for resource regions. The methodology of the study included two stages. At the first stage, the problem of determining the resource regions and the approaches to their identification were outlined. The second stage involved an analysis of existing approaches to the evaluation of the PPP institution and the issue of assessing its effectiveness. The approaches have been classified into three groups; assessment basis, calculation criteria and algorithm for the evaluation methodology have been identified. At the third stage, the authors used the theory of fuzzy sets for a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of the PPP institution from the perspective of reducing the resource dependence of regions. Four clusters have been revealed, their comparative characteristics are given in the article. It is shown that high indicators of the development of the regulatory framework and the institutional environment do not ensure the effective development of the institute in the region. It is necessary to revise the initial expert evaluation of the criteria, refine the weights of PPP performance assessment factors, and re-clustering. The degree of development of the PPP institution is not sufficient to reveal the relationship with the degree of resource dependence.
