| dc.description.abstract | The idea of Public Private Partnership (PPP) as a model that sets out a relationship between the Public and the Private sectors has been seen as an arrangement where the two entities combine their strengths and weaknesses in terms of resources and their expertise for the delivery of a service for the benefit of the public such as the affordable housing. Governments over the years have prioritized this need in many forms to provide housing units that are seemingly affordable to its populace. This study aimed at exploring the adoption of the PPP in the delivery of affordable housing to curb the upsurge of Ghana’s housing deficit. The objectives included the following: to identify the major causes of housing deficits in Ghana, to identify challenges faced with the effective implementation of PPP in affordable housing deliveries and to identify key success factors regarding the adoption of PPP in affordable housing delivery. The study concentrated on the key players in the housing sector in Ghana; mainly professionals with knowledge and experience in the PPP arrangement system. Data was collected and analyzed using Statistical tools which included: Factor Analysis, RII and percentages. The outcomes of the study depicted that: the high cost of land and building materials were strongly associated with the high housing cost. The effective practice of accountability between parties among others such as shared trust and vision between partners were some success factors identified. It was concluded that housing deficit largely affects the populace which government alone is unable to resolve. Affordable housing delivery should be viewed as national issue. More so, for efficient PPP arrangement, government should put in place equitable policies to attract and sustain the private sector’s unflinching participation in partnering to deliver affordable housing to Ghanaians | en_US |
