Purpose. Identification of the role of government in the development of competitive medical tourism offers. Method. This is exploratory research, employing the grounded theory method that is characterized by an inductive approach to the analysed issue. Findings. Governments of the most competitive medical tourism destinations relatively rarely take on the role of service producers or developers. More often, they assume the role of service regulators, especially in the area concerning the quality of services and conditions for development of medical tourism. The scope and particular methods of intervention differ but it can be hypothesized that there are two basic models: in the first one, the private sector is a catalyst of development while the government takes on the role of a co-ordinator at the most advanced phase, in the second one, the government initiates and leads the development since its early stages. Research and conclusions limitations. The research has been based on secondary sources and covers selected cases in the particular period that may affect the generalization of the outcomes. Practical implications. The research provides some guidelines concerning the involvement of government and the instruments to deliver competitive medical tourism offers. Originality. The research makes an original attempt to identify governments’ activities in the area of medical tourism and provides a documented elaboration on Porter’s concept of competitiveness for the 10 top, most competitive destinations. The purpose and number of cases that were examined differ the research from similar attempts more limited in their scope. Type of paper. Empirical research on 10 cases.

Insurgencies and other security challenges have caused significant setbacks for sustainable development in Kaduna state. This study assesses the role of the Kaduna state government in managing the security challenges within the state. In this study, significant factors that affects the management of security and its challenges as well as the disposing conditions were critically analyzed. The objective of the study was to examine the managerial effort of the government in tackling security challenges in Kaduna state being critical in the daily running of the state and proposed appropriate measures that could help improve the current situation. Relevant data for this study were collected from both primary and secondary sources. The study employed the exploratory research method. Indigenes of Kaduna state from different LGAs comprised the study population out of which 100 questionnaires were administered serving as sample size. The study employed descriptive statistical instruments such as frequencies and percentages in analyzing the obtained data. The study showed that majority (51.3%) of the respondents indicated that the government is the most active agent in the fight against insecurity in the state with little corroboration from other agencies. Lack of finance was observed to be the major challenge in the fight against insecurity in the state. Though, most of the state’s managerial strategies were credible, yet laudable to some extent. It was however observed that the little corroboration from other agencies such as NGOs, civil societies, traditional rulers and other security agencies played a significant role. The study therefore, recommends that a more inclusive decision-making approach between the state and other agencies be promoted to ensure cross sectional development and fight against insurgencies in the state.

Participation Frameworks

The scope for involving private capital participation in wastewater treatment and pollution control is attracting attention in a number of countries. After noting briefly some influences giving rise to this trend, this paper discusses frameworks in which such participation may be developed. In some aspects, there are choices available and it is essential to shape the private participation appropriately to the community's situation and problems, with due recognition of the hazards also involved. In other aspects, policy choices are more constrained, and there are requirements which it is suggested all private participation frameworks should provide for as clearly as possible. Effective private participation generally depends on re-designing and strengthening the role of government as the scale of its former role is reduced. Getting this re-design of the government role right is at least as important as making appropriate choices for format of private participation.
