- Lesson 2: Public Private Partnerships have a possibility for a cost effective and sustainable way for facilitating formalisation of informal enterprises and introducing high-cost interventions that provide job rich ventures. The PPP model presents a cost-effective model of introducing a technology, implementing a high-cost project and even scaling up working interventions for expanded reach since it comes with shared costs, risks, expertise and responsibilities among involved parties. The labour-intensive road construction technology showcased very well how this model could be a tool for such and similar interventions. The project demonstrated a successful PPP model on the introduction of the labour-intensive road technology (cobble stone) in Mazabuka. The buy in from different parties was influenced by the assumed value each part was likely to accrue from a successful implementation of a project.
In Zimbabwe, the PPP arrangement was based on the merging interests of parties and the commercial returns the enterprise had for the private partner. For the public sector, the ability to scalability of the model and their ability to gain increased returns from such developments strengthened their resolve in the partnership.
The PPP arrangement for the Lubombo Road construction in Mazabuka where the cobble stone technology was done ideally demonstrated value for all the stakeholders that were part of the arrangement. For instance, Zambia Sugar has the corporate social responsibility to the community and at the same time uses part of this road for sugarcane haulage and the local municipal council is the government department with the constitutional mandate to maintain local road networks of this nature. ILO as a social partners facilitated and supported the functioning of the PPP with an interest of supporting government with initiatives to promote skills development and employment creation especially for young men and women.
