Background of the Study
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have become a key strategy for addressing the housing deficit in many parts of the world, particularly in developing countries. In Nigeria, the housing sector faces numerous challenges, including inadequate funding, poor infrastructure, and a large gap between the demand and supply of affordable housing. The Nigerian government has acknowledged the need for private sector involvement to accelerate the delivery of affordable housing, and PPPs are seen as a viable mechanism for achieving this goal (Oluwadare, 2023).
In Zamfara State, the issue of affordable housing is particularly pressing due to the region’s rapid population growth and economic challenges. Despite various efforts by the government to increase the supply of affordable housing, the results have been inadequate, and many citizens are still unable to access quality housing. PPPs present an opportunity for the state government to collaborate with private developers to leverage their expertise, capital, and innovative technologies to deliver affordable housing solutions more efficiently and at scale (Alhaji & Uzochukwu, 2023).
This study will assess the effect of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) on affordable housing projects in Zamfara State, focusing on how such partnerships have contributed to the delivery of affordable housing, the challenges faced by stakeholders, and the sustainability of these projects. The research will provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of PPPs in addressing the housing needs of the state’s residents.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing recognition of PPPs as a means of enhancing the delivery of affordable housing, their impact on housing projects in Zamfara State remains largely underexplored. There is limited understanding of how these partnerships are structured, their benefits and challenges, and their overall contribution to addressing the housing needs of the population. Furthermore, the sustainability of PPP projects and their ability to cater to the needs of low-income citizens are critical concerns. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating the role of PPPs in promoting affordable housing in Zamfara State.
