comments:

The main beneficiaries were local meat traders (majority who are women), local government and private investors.

challenges:

The main challenge was that the local meat traders did not fully connect with the developed infrastructures especially the slaughter houses given that they played a minimal role in their construction which was done by a contractor. The process of the PPP arrangement formation did not have access to the infrastructures until after they were completed. They therefore did not fully appreciate and understand the infrastructures.

success:

Repeated sensitization of the PPP stakeholders assisted in keeping them abreast and to form images of what to expect.

context:

Ideally, establishment of PPP arrangements for the management of the developed infrastructures needed to move at the same pace. This would have allowed the stakeholders to better understand and appreciate the management aspects of the meat markets and slaughter houses, especially because they were taking over the facilities. Given that the two processes were managed by different entities it was a challenge for PPP stakeholders to fully connect with the infrastructures and to fully understand the infrastructures. The construction of facilities was done by a contractor with no or little involvement of stakeholders while the establishment of the PPPs purely involved the stakeholders.

description:

Implementation of PPP arrangements and development of the PPP infrastructures are better carried out by the one organisation as opposed to different organisations. Under result 2, meat markets and slaughter houses were constructed or rehabilitated. PPP arrangements were also established as management arrangements for the markets and slaughter houses. Construction of the infrastructures and establishment of the PPPs were carried out by different organisations which posed challenges especially to the establishment of PPPs, given that the two processes were not flowing at the same pace given that potential PPP stakeholders were mobilised and sensitised early in the project, but the infrastructures took long to begin and to completion.

administrative_issues:

Future designs should ensure that the two processes ( formation of the PPP and infrastructure works) are closely linked and managed so that stakeholders are not detached to either of the processes .
