Abstract:

Public-private partnerships have emerged in recent years as an important policy option to ensure service provision in the water resources sector. However, there is very little analysis of past experience of partnerships between the public sector and various arms of the private sector: water companies, NGOs or even farmer groups. Further, there is limited conceptualisation of what is meant by partnerships between the public and private sectors. This paper draws on a study of watershed management in Haryana to analyse the evolution of public-private partnerships in natural resource management. T

Abstract:

In the public sector regeneration and turnaround market in the last quarter of the last century, privatisation has been the most commonly prescribed drug. The biggest difficulty, however, in the way of effective application of this drug, as repeatedly reported by potential users, has been “dealing with excessive manpower”; from which, almost without exception, the public sector enterprises have been suffering in the entire third world. Consequently, more often than not, privatisation has remained a mere paper prescription (or a topic for non-conclusive seminars). The Berlin-Chemie AG, a German

Abstract:

In the Tanzanian water and sanitation (WatSan) sector, the human resource (HR) requirements for meeting the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) targets have so far been relatively unknown. This study was therefore conducted with a focus on determining HR requirements in the public sector and parastatal institutions, in the private sector (private consultancy companies, individual contractors, etc.), and in non-governmental organizations and community-based organizations active in the broader water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector.

Abstract:

<em>The public sector is usually a stronghold for the economy, but recently in Nigeria, the sector has faced many hiccups due to neglect and poor management. The financial sector had its challenges ranging from instability to unsafe banking systems resulting in loss of depositors' confidence among others. The government managed the situation by establishing the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) which is a parastatal under the Nigerian Ministry of Finance to supervise insured banks, among other roles. This study, therefore, examined NDIC- a public sector organization to ascertain it

Abstract:

Since the beginning of the 1990s, comprehensive reforms of the Ghanaian water sector were initiated by the Bretton Woods Institutions. The Government of Ghana was obliged to restructure the sector by establishing regulatory bodies, opening the sector to private sector participation and separating responsibilities for urban water supply from rural water supply. The parastatal Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) was created to be solely in charge of urban water supply. In spite of external assistance, GWCL continued to suffer from massive financial, managerial and technical problems. The gap betw

Abstract:

The aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic has compelled individuals and businesses to restructure and adapt the formerly ‘established’ ways of doing things to capitalize on the opportunities presented by ICTs. This circumstance has resulted in what is known as the “New Normal”. This entails a longer-term perspective in terms of business decisions to optimize the usage of the internet to continue to stay in business. To evaluate women’s knowledge, and ICT use during the pandemic in Yilo Krobo Municipality, the survey approach was used. A total number of 20,160 women are employed constituting 5.4%

A positivist paradigm was adopted using a cross-sectional survey. The target population of the study consisted of all SEPs totalling 107 from which a sample of 20 SEPs was selected from the clusters using the simple random sampling technique.

Purpose Since the start of seed and other market reforms in the 1990s, the annual number of improved varietal releases for maize in Kenya has increased substantially. Prior to the reforms, private firms were restricted in introducing new varieties, could not protect their intellectual property and farmers had to rely exclusively on improved seeds developed and marketed by the public sector. Reforms have resulted in not only private firms entering the market and releasing improved varieties, but also an increase in varietal releases by the public sector.

China’s economic growth has decelerated substantially in recent years. This state of affairs is described by Chinese economic researchers as a "new normal". Furthermore, such a definition has also been put forward by the officials as an ideological concept, and in that sense the "new normal" means not just the current situation, but also a prospective path of development. New structural trends do appear in China’s economy. But, by and large, macro-trends kept worsening in 2014- 2015.

This paper examines the privatization of hospitals through mergers and acquisitions (M&A) using Kenya as the country of focus. It shows that M&A activities are increasing in Africa and there is a history of privatization of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) / parastatals in Africa and Kenya in particular, which started in the 1990s. With the changing dynamics, increasing pressure to achieve universal health and looking at the history of mergers and acquisitions there is no doubt that this is going to become an important phenomenon in Kenya in the near future.Privatization of hospitals, in
