This paper elaborates upon the challenges faced by Dhow making industry in Pakistan, where dhows have always served as the traditional means of cargo transportation. Dhows have also been useful in trade especially with secondary ports and war -torn countries of the Middle East and Africa. The decreasing trend in trade through dhows is affecting not only the maritime economy but also may lead to the extinction of traditional and customary knowledge of dhow making industry. Pakistan needs to ensure that policy gaps are filled to address the concerns of all stakeholders and steps may be taken to identify it as a formal industry in the maritime economy. Moreover, training and capacity building programs will also play an eminent role in generating relevant workforce for boosting the growth of the boat making industry. Active efforts are needed for Public Private Partnership and incentivizing dhow trade also with the assurance of the availability of required raw materials that would help in the revival of the industry. The utilization of modern technology, adequate facilities such as revision of port charges and availability of basic infrastructure are recommended to excel the growth of this vital segment of maritime economy.

In the context of the active entry of Kazakhstan into the world economy, the growing shortage and decline in the quality of raw materials and the related rise in prices for grain and bakery products, the grain-product subcomplex of the domestic agro-industrial complex is of particular importance. The article notes that the development of production in various sectors and spheres of the economy of Kazakhstan requires the search and use of new, more efficient forms of implementation of production and economic activities. One of the key methods of solving this problem is the integration of commodity producers, which makes it possible to unite in a single complex all the links of the reproduction cycle in the technological chain “production of raw materials - output of finished products”. It is emphasized that domestic and foreign experience has proved that integrated education, formed on the basis of the principles of public-private partnership, achieves a high level of efficiency and competitiveness. For the successful implementation of public-private partnership projects in the grain product sub-complex, an in-depth study, generalization and systematization of the experience of using this mechanism by both national and foreign companies that have achieved high results in this area is required. Currently, public-private partnership continues to remain at the initial stage of development, which is largely due to the specific high-risk features of the functioning of the branches of the grain product sub-complex. These circumstances emphasize the importance of a detailed analysis of methods and tools for increasing the competitiveness of enterprises and organizations of the domestic grain products subcomplex, first of all, targeted investment in the development of production.

Urbanization possesses the power to transform the physical and socioeconomic structure of cities globally. In developing countries, transformative urbanization requires employing suitable tools that can address contemporary challenges such as rapid population growth, housing and basic infrastructure provision, as well as inadequate financial and technical resources. Despite some criticism, public-private partnership (PPP) is increasingly being applied to tackle these challenges and to foster sustainable urbanization. Yet, limited studies have investigated PPP applications in providing housing and infrastructure in Nigerian cities. Using desktop study, this chapter analyzes the potentials and challenges of PPP in housing and infrastructure delivery in Abuja, Nigeria. It specifically reviews the modes of housing and infrastructure provision, highlights the concept and models of PPP, and examines the potentials and challenges of PPP in housing and infrastructure delivery in Abuja. It then recommends ways of enhancing the existing PPP in Abuja and concludes with future research direction

The aim is to justify proposals for improving public-private partnership for the development of grain product sub-complex. The implementation of effective forms of production and economic activity requires an increase in the volume of products in various sectors of economy of Kazakhstan. Research methods contribute to the integration of commodity producers, combining the links of reproduction cycle in technological chain into a single complex from the availability of raw materials to production of finished goods. Results – it was noted that integrated entities, formed on the basis of the principles of public-private partnership, achieve a high level of efficiency and competitiveness. It is shown that in modern economic conditions, the functioning mechanism of PPP in sectors of agriculture, industry, providing production, transportation, storage and processing of grain in the republic, does not allow to fully systematically carry out largescale innovation processes. The in-depth systematization and analysis of the experience of using the mechanism of public-private partnership in grain complex, both by domestic and foreign producers who have achieved high results in this area, are required for the successful implementation of such projects, since grain industry has its own specific features. Conclusions – during the functioning of economic entities at the stage of grain processing, inter-industry relations in technological interaction are improved from product output to sale with distribution of value added. At the same time, an important direction of economic policy for activating the innovative vector of development, creating a competitive business is to ensure an equivalent intersectoral exchange, the formation of a pricing policy. The public-private partnership model greatly contributes to the achievement of the strategic goals of the regions, creating positive trends in the economic development of the territories.

Agriculture, as one of the most important sectors of the economy, needs constant improvement at the legislative level. Its importance lies in providing the population with provisions and obtaining raw materials for industry. States are trying to create a mechanism for regulating agricultural relations that would be in line with international principles and efficient. One such mechanism is the introduction of the institution of public-private partnership. The experience of foreign countries allows to maintain the state of legislative support at a high level and, accordingly, the effective implementation of its norms at a high level for the implementation of state social policy. The work aims to analyze the international experience of public-private partnerships in agriculture. During the research, the authors used such methods as a method of analysis of normative documents, comparative legal method, and formal-legal method. As a result of the study, the international experience of public-private partnership (in general) and in the field of agriculture (in particular) was examined. The historical stages of formation and improvement of this institute are studied. The advantages and disadvantages of public-private partnership and possible ways to improve it are studied.

<p>The Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) ACT of 2005 provided the legal framework for the adoption of PPP for infrastructure development in Nigeria. This paper therefore examined the implications of the adoption of PPP for infrastructure development in Nigeria with a view to enhancing infrastructure projects delivery. The paper acknowledged the timeliness of the initiative in Nigeria owing to the wide infrastructure gap and progressive severe cut back in budgetary allocation and implementation. The paper recommended that political will, good governance and human capacity building will be required to maximise the benefits from the initiative by all stakeholders.</p>
