Public-Private Partnerships in Sudan: Challenges and Opportunities

This study examines the current state of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in Sudan, focusing on the challenges and obstacles that hinder their development and effective implementation. The study begins by reviewing relevant literature on PPPs, providing an overview of different contract types, and highlighting the associated implementation challenges. Employing a qualitative approach, the study conducts interviews with government experts and practitioners involved in PPP projects, while also analyzing existing literature on PPPs in Sudan. The findings indicate that Sudan holds promising opportunities for PPPs in sectors such as health, education, infrastructure, mining, tourism and renewable energy. However, the study identifies several obstacles, including political instability, economic downturn, corruption, and complex legislative and administrative conditions. To address these challenges, the study recommends the adoption of clear and effective government policies and legislation. These measures involve building trust between the public and private sectors, combating corruption, and implementing necessary policies to create a favorable environment for PPPs.
