Background of the Study
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have become an increasingly popular mechanism for financing large-scale housing projects, particularly in developing countries like Nigeria. By leveraging the strengths of both the public and private sectors, PPPs aim to address the housing deficit by providing affordable housing solutions, improving infrastructure, and ensuring sustainability (Adeleke & Otieno, 2024). These partnerships are especially critical in regions like Kebbi State, where rapid urbanization and population growth have led to rising demand for housing but limited public funds for development.
In Kebbi, a state with a predominantly rural population and a growing urban center, the public sector often faces budgetary constraints that hinder its ability to provide sufficient housing. On the other hand, private developers, though more capitalized, often lack the incentives or regulatory support to engage in large-scale housing projects. Thus, PPPs can serve as a bridge to overcoming these challenges, facilitating the construction of affordable housing estates while reducing the burden on the government.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of PPPs in delivering large-scale housing projects in Kebbi State, examining their impact on housing availability, affordability, and overall urban development.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential benefits of public-private partnerships, the housing sector in Kebbi State has not fully leveraged this model, resulting in a continued housing deficit. The absence of a clear regulatory framework, coordination challenges between public and private entities, and financial constraints have limited the successful implementation of large-scale housing projects. This study seeks to assess how effectively PPPs have been utilized in addressing the housing challenges in Kebbi, focusing on the successes, barriers, and areas for improvement.

Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on large-scale housing projects funded through public-private partnerships in Kebbi State. Data will be collected from government agencies, private developers, and residents of housing projects. Limitations include potential challenges in accessing information from private developers and government bodies, and the difficulty of measuring long-term impact on affordability.
