Research Expertise

My field:

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) and their role in infrastructure building and management

3

4

What is a PPP?

• PPP is a triangle of relationships (Sadran, 2004),
• ften asymmetrical

Public agency Private company Citizens PPP

PPPs are deployed in infrastructure

• Roads, railroads, tunnels and bridges
• Airports, sea ports
• Energy generation and transmission
• Hospitals, schools, kindergartens, stadiums

5

Why PPPs?

PPPs attract private investment and may make it profitable PPPs are driven by the profit motive Profit seeking leads to innovation

6

PPPs can:

• 1. Construct new or rebuild outdated

infrastructure

• 2. Ensure efficient and cost effective

management of infrastructure BUT: PPPs often to not deliver value-for- money

7

Question

Can PPPs fit the purpose of resource efficiency?

8

Research Interests

Main theme: PPPs and efficiency: what are the tools and incentives? Research problem Can PPP contribute to sustainable development (SD) by effective risk management and utilisation of resources?

9

Another perspective

If PPPs lack efficiency, are they capable to create social value that outweighs financial

• utlays?

How can stakeholders (government, private firms, community groups, citizens) increase PPP capacity to ensure greater efficiency and greater social value?

10

My expectations from the workshop

• 1. Expand my knowledge in resource

efficiency

• 2. Find partners from both Brazil and UK

who are keen on research on PPPs, resource efficiency and social value
