While research and policy documents seem to equate public private partnerships (PPPs) to a “marriage made in heaven”, globally they have had flimsy impact on public service delivery. Such seem to be caused by myopic governance emanating from scattered PPP governance literature, lack of a clear PPP good governance overview, as well as overemphasis of PPP financing over the wider PPP governance aspects. Using scholarly documents through content analysis, this study therefore intended to identify and examine the elements of a PPP governance system, and thereafter provide strategies of enforcing good governance practices for PPPs to serve their intended purpose. Findings indicate that PPP principles, critical success factors, stakeholder and risk management, and management of PPP maturity trends, make up a PPP good governance system. Finally, for each of the findings established, the study proposes appropriate good governance practices for sustainable PPP interventions.

Wakaf ialah apa-apa harta yang ditahan hak pewakaf ke atas harta tersebut daripada sebarang urusan jual beli, pewarisan, hibah dan wasiat, ada masa yang sama mengekalkan sumber fizikalnya untuk kebajikan dengan niat mendekatkan diri pewakaf kepada Allah SWT. Di Malaysia, wakaf ditadbir oleh Majlis Agama Islam Negeri (MAIN) di negeri masing-masing. Namun, dewasa ini wakaf sering dikaitkan dengan masalah tadbir urus rentetan daripada kelompongan yang terdapat dalam tadbir urus institusi wakaf itu sendiri. Seiring dengan kebangkitan institusi wakaf mutakhir ini, maka panggilan ke arah pengamalan tadbir urus yang baik dan amalan terbaik wakaf semakin terserlah. Ini kerana amalan terbaik tadbir urus yang baik perlu diadaptasi oleh MAIN lantaran ia merupakan antara faktor kejayaan yang bersifat kritikal untuk menghidupkan semula institusi wakaf di Malaysia. Artikel ini bertujuan membincangkan transformasi tadbir urus Majlis Agama Islam dan Adat Istiadat Melayu Perlis (MAIPs) selaku institusi yang menguruskan wakaf di negeri Perlis. Kajian ini berbentuk kualitatif dan menggunapakai reka bentuk kajian kes. Dalam menganalisa data kajian, penulis menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan. Data kajian dikumpul melalui dokumen dan temu bual separa struktur bersama pegawai-pegawai wakaf di MAIPs. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa MAIPs telah melalui beberapa fasa transformasi tadbir urus yang positif dalam menguruskan wakaf di Perlis. Kejayaan tadbir urus yang diimplementasikan oleh MAIPs merupakan bukti bahawa MAIPs bersikap proaktif dalam mengurus dan mentadbir wakaf di negeri Perlis. Implikasi kajian ini dapat membantu pembuat dasar, pentadbir dan pengurus institusi wakaf untuk menambahbaik sistem tadbir urus yang sedia ada agar wakaf dapat dimartabatkan dan dimanfaatkan untuk umat Islam di Malaysia secara keseluruhannya. ABSTRACT Waqf is any property that the donor retains right over the property from any sale, inheritance, grant and will, at the same time retaining his physical source for welfare with the intention of bringing the donor closer to Allah SWT. In Malaysia, waqf is governed by the State Islamic Religious Council (SIRC) in their respective states. However recently, these waqf are often associated with stringent governance problems resulting from the gaps inherent in the governance of the waqf institution itself. With the rise of the modern waqf institution, the call for good governance practices and the best practices of waqf is growing. This is because good governance practices need to be adapted by SIRC as it is one of the critical success factors for revitalizing the waqf institution in Malaysia. This article is intended to discuss the governance transformation of the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs) as the institution that administers waqf in the state of Perlis. This study is a qualitative study with case study designation. In analyzing the research data, the authors use the content analysis method. The data were collected through documents and semi-structured interviews with MAIPs officers. The result shows that MAIPs has gone through several phases of positive governance transformation in managing waqf in Perlis. The success of the governance implemented by MAIPs is a proof that MAIPs is proactive in managing and administering wakaf in Perlis. The implication of this study is to help policy makers, administrators and managers of the waqf institution to improve the existing governance system so that waqf can be fully utilized for Muslims in Malaysia.

In the initial stages of the adoption and institutionalization of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), national governments of transitional economies have accepted, developed, and organized Public-Private Partnerships with varying degrees of success. This study aims to investigate the critical success factors (CSFs) influencing the establishment of a sustainable Public-Private Partnership in transition conditions. In the first part of the paper, based on an extensive review of the literature, previous studies and relevant results in this field are presented as a background for this research. In the second part of this article, the survey used a factor analysis, which, with the application of the Principal Component Analysis and Varimax method with Kaiser normalization, has extracted four CSFs: (1) the establishment of a central PPP unit—knowledge center; (2) the establishment of a compatible legal/regulatory framework; (3) development of national PPP policies and strategies; and (4) standardization and transparency of the process. In the concluding remarks, the authors address the perspectives and methodological research constraints, examining possibilities to develop new knowledge and more efficient Public-Private Partnership implementation in the developing PPP markets of transitional economies.

Critical Success

Purpose The role of public–private partnerships (PPP) as a strategic initiative to improve and accelerate service delivery in the form of newly built and revitalised water infrastructure assets in developing countries cannot be over-emphasised. Hence, the purpose of this study is to assess and highlight the importance of critical success factors for water infrastructure projects delivered under public–private partnerships. Design/methodology/approach A survey design was used and a questionnaire was administered to stakeholders who have participated in delivering water infrastructure assets in South Africa. Out of 150 administered questionnaires, only 91 were returned and usable for analyses, representing a 61 per cent response rate. The data gathered were then analysed using descriptive and factor analysis. Findings The study revealed that thorough planning for project viability, high levels of transparency and accountability and a legal framework stipulating policy continuity are the CSFs for delivering water infrastructure projects under the PPP initiative. The findings emerging from factor analysis owing to a close variance revealed the importance of the following grouped factors, namely, public cooperation, project viability and policy and legislation enhancement. Practical implications From the results, it is clear that the public sector, as the facilitator of infrastructure development, should create an environment that is conducive for private capital through political will and commitment and the enhancement of policy and legislation where there is no or minimal private participation. Originality/value Adequate infrastructure investment from private capital promises to flourish economically and improve the living conditions of the public in the cities and the country at large. To further guarantee the reality of PPPs at a local level, the host government must adequately engage and enlighten the public.

A fundamental benefit sought from Public Private Partnerships is risk transfer – or more explicit allocation of risks between the public and private partners. However, not all operating risks can be transferred or eliminated. The public partner retains residual risk and remains ultimately accountable for the delivery of public services. Sub-standard management of major change events can lead to poor value-for-money outcomes. In-depth insights are provided in this article into how the actual management of Public Private Partnerships may be carried out and dealt with by governments at critical junctures during the concession period. Key risks, issues and critical success factors are identified that can have profound effects on the achievement of intended outcomes. These considerations build upon existing knowledge, policy and guidance for Public Private Partnerships, both nationally and internationally, making this essay tangible and grounded for both academics and practitioners.

A majority of protected areas are not being managed effectively enough to ensure the perpetuity of biological resources they contain due to impediments such as poor governance. This study focused on the experiences in the shared governance of people involved in partnership-managed protected areas and also on developing critical success factors in implementing such partnerships. The interpretivism approach was appropriate for this qualitative, inductive, descriptive, and exploratory three-case study that used in-depth interviews and open-ended quester-views with a purposive sample to generate data. In the early stages of the projects, the protected area shared governance was not stable and was characterized by many pitfalls because the concept of partnerships was new in Zimbabwe. It is important to develop guiding frameworks and build capacity that eliminates governance vacuum, ambiguity, deficiencies, overcrowding, redundancies, bureaucracy, and politics from the early stages of the partnerships. Community participation is crucial in the management and long-term sustainability of protected areas in developing countries. Further, governance reforms for the protected areas needed to recognize traditional and cultural sites in the project areas and develop governance types of the sacred sites formally attributed to the local ethnic indigenous people nested within project shared governance. Some critical success factors of well-shared governance of protected areas are in the text. However, all the principles of good governance may not be usable in one case study

Purpose This study aims to identify the critical success factors (CSFs) in the implementation of the public–private partnerships (PPPs) in the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) affordable housing sector. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire survey was conducted to assess 17 CSFs for PPP projects derived from previous international and local studies. The collected data were analyzed using the relative importance index technique to establish the most significant factors based on feedback from 48 respondents from the public and private sectors. Findings The most identified CSFs were good governance, government guarantees, commitment and responsibility of the public and private sectors, favorable and efficient legal frameworks, political support and stability, and demand for and the debt-paying ability of the project. Research limitations/implications There has been rapid momentum in the UAE and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries towards engaging the private sector in the provision of infrastructure and housing after increased pressure on government budgets and falling oil prices. Thus, this study encourages strong consideration of the highest-ranked CSFs in the absence of any prior experiences or studies. On a broader scale, these CSFs are an effective policy tool for the GCC countries, which share similar contexts. Originality/value This paper represents the first empirical study in the GCC region and the UAE on the CSFs for PPPs in affordable housing, which is experiencing growing demand in the region to overcome the large deficit in housing supply.

The focus of this chapter is on various concepts that need to be carefully considered when defining an information systems strategic plan (ISSP) for enhancing public service delivery in the digital era. The first concept discussed is the critical success factors framework. This framework ensures that the ISSP strategic objectives are aligned with the corporate strategic objectives. The aim is to identify those critical success factors that ensure the successful implementation of the ISSP and to determine whether these factors are being achieved in the implementation process. Secondly, the chapter will consider the general implementation philosophy, including the IS application acquisition methods and the key IS features. This ensures the implementation of value for money IS applications. The third concept considered is related to the justification methods for undertaking IS applications. Finally, the chapter will discuss a number of ICT planning issues that may be applicable to the public sector.
