Abstract

The challenges to government financing and its impact on the nation’s development, has increased the prospects of Public Private Partnerships as an alternative to the delivery of infrastructure and housing. This study examined the implementation of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) in Housing Programme and Delivery Strategies in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nigeria. The study adopted the survey research design and structured questionnaire was used as instrument for data collection. Data analysis was committed to descriptive statistics of mean and percentages analysis. The results showed that the collaboration between the public and private sectors has been effective in addressing housing needs in the FCT. Also, PPP have been highly efficient and effective in housing delivery in the FCT. However, findings of the study revealed that limited resources hindered effective and
efficient housing delivery in the FCT. Based on the findings, the study concluded that successful PPP implementation requires careful planning, effective governance, and a commitment to transparency and accountability. The study recommended that government should vigorously provide policies to support the success of PPP in the provision of housing in Abuja and provide funds of subsidy to promote the development of PPP-led affordable housing projects. It was also recommended that the government should establish mechanisms for community participation in decision-making processes, ensuring that the housing projects align with the needs and preferences of the target population.
