The paper "Public-Private Partnership frameworks for financing affordable housing: Lessons and models" by Adetola Adewale Akinsulire, Courage Idemudia, Azubuike Chukwudi Okwandu, and Obinna Iwuanyanwu explores the effectiveness and scalability of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in addressing the global affordable housing crisis. PPPs combine the resources, expertise, and efficiencies of both the public and private sectors to enhance housing affordability and accessibility. The authors review various PPP models, including Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT), Design-Build-Finance-Operate (DBFO), and Lease-Develop-Operate (LDO), highlighting their structural differences and application contexts. Key components of successful PPP frameworks include clear regulatory environments, transparent procurement processes, robust risk-sharing mechanisms, and effective stakeholder engagement. The paper provides case studies from the United Kingdom, Singapore, and South Africa to illustrate the practical application and outcomes of PPP frameworks. For instance, the Affordable Homes Programme (AHP) in the UK has effectively utilized PPPs to deliver thousands of affordable housing units, while Singapore's Housing and Development Board (HDB) employs PPP models to maintain high housing standards through extensive government subsidies and private sector involvement. The authors conclude that PPP frameworks, when effectively designed and implemented, can significantly enhance the availability of affordable housing. They emphasize the need for supportive policies, transparent processes, and inclusive stakeholder engagement to address specific housing challenges and contribute to sustainable urban development. Policy recommendations include creating clear legal and regulatory environments, ensuring transparent procurement processes, implementing effective risk-sharing mechanisms, and fostering community involvement and private sector participation.The paper "Public-Private Partnership frameworks for financing affordable housing: Lessons and models" by Adetola Adewale Akinsulire, Courage Idemudia, Azubuike Chukwudi Okwandu, and Obinna Iwuanyanwu explores the effectiveness and scalability of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in addressing the global affordable housing crisis.
