Abstract
Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) have emerged as a viable solution for housing delivery, especially in addressing housing deficits in urban areas. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of PPP in housing delivery, identify critical success factors influencing the success of PPP projects, and assess the prospects and challenges associated with PPP in the housing sector, specifically focusing on Unity Housing Estate in Bauchi. Utilizing a descriptive research design, the research surveyed 76 respondents, including government officials, private developers, and residents, to examine critical success factors, prospects, and challenges associated with PPP in housing delivery. The findings indicate that the most influential critical success factors include government support and policies, financial viability, and stakeholder engagement. The prospects of employing the PPP arrangement in Unity Estate Bauchi are promising, with increased housing availability, improved quality of housing, and enhanced infrastructure identified as key benefits. Furthermore, it was found that government support and policies, financial viability, and stakeholder engagement significantly impact the effectiveness of housing delivery in Unity Estate. In light of these findings, the following key recommendations are proposed: The government should strengthen its support for PPP housing projects by providing clear policies and financial incentives to attract private investment. Additionally, regular communication and collaboration among stakeholders should be encouraged to improve project alignment and commitment. Engaging the local community in planning and implementation will also ensure that projects meet the needs and expectations of beneficiaries.
