PPPs are best seen as a special kind of contract involved in infrastructure provision, such as the building and equipping of schools, hospitals, transport systems, water and sewerage systems. Nowadays, a growing number of developing country governments are interested in using Public - Private Partnerships (PPPs) to provide public infrastructure assets and services.
This dissertation is composed so as to analyze four issues:
- What are PPPs, and why would we want to use them?
- What are the main barriers in establishing functional and effective PPPs?
- What kind of policy, legal, and institutional framework do we need to put in place to ensure PPPs achieve their objectives efficiently and effectively?
- What are the main barriers in establishing effective PPPs in Vietnamese Law, in order to give some solutions for Vietnam.
Last but not least, the dissertation concluded with the upgrading legal provisions of PPPs in Vietnam with the recommendations to improve and strengthen the legal practices.
