Abstract

Developing countries face inadequate resources for funding road infrastructures. This has amalgamated the public and private sectors into a mutually beneficial relationship through Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). Although extensive documentation exists on PPPs globally in various sectors, studies examining the challenges to PPPs in Road Infrastructure Construction projects in Tanzania are inadequate. This study aimed to address this shortfall. Purposive sampling was used to select 20 respondents for the study. A qualitative research design was used in the study, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and document reviews. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data from interviews and focus group discussions. Over two-thirds of the interviewed respondents revealed that lack of preparedness, limited information on available opportunities for PPP projects, and inadequate capital market were among the main challenges facing PPPs on road infrastructure projects in Tanzania. The study calls for improving the institutional framework to enhance private sector participation in PPPs in road projects
