Abstract

The quality of life for citizens is heavily influenced by adequate infrastructure. However, in developing nations, the deficiencies in infrastructure are substantial, surpassing the capacities of current development efforts. There is an urgent need for clean water, electricity, housing, and a comprehensive transportation and telecommunications infrastructure. Budget limitations, economic crises, and competing demands for limited state resources have made governments consider the public-private partnership model for infrastructure development. This article highlights the urgency of addressing the infrastructure deficit in Zimbabwe and advocates for sustained efforts to create an environment that encourages private investment. The study on this topic was qualitative and relied on a review of written documents examining the role of PPPs and the challenges faced in executing the projects. To successfully implement PPPs in Zimbabwe, the study recommends that the Zimbabwe government should enhance public participation, strengthen the legal and regulatory framework, and ensure that PPP projects are financially viable and managed transparently within budget limits.
