Description
Development of infrastructural projects with private capital through Public Private Partnership (PPP) route has become one of the commonly adopted strategies in developed and developing countries. In recent times, Public Private Partnership initiatives have been strategically undertaken by the Military High Command in addressing the housing deficit in the Service. To
address the accommodation challenge faced by the GAF, Public Private Partnership initiatives as practiced in other security services is considered very crucial to bridge the housing deficit
in the Ghana Army. However, there has been an increased discussion on various national platforms across the country on the manner in which the Ghana Armed Forces is partnering the
Private Sector in the provision of infrastructure and services such as housing and demarcation of its vast lands across the country. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the effectiveness of the Public Private Partnership Initiative adopted by the Ghana Armed Forces in addressing its housing deficit challenge. The study adopted the mixed method (qualitative and quantitative methodologies) to address the following objectives; to determine the appropriateness of PPP in the Ghana Army housing sector, assess the challenges faced in adopting PPP in affordable housing delivery and evaluate the effect of PPP model used in the Ghana Army in accessing housing. The study found that lack of transparency in PPP arrangements hinders the success of PPP projects. The lack of strategic financial institution to partner the Ghana Armed forces in supporting huge PPP housing projects lead to the failure of PPP implementation. The study therefore recommended that Government should rally the
related organizations, institutions and agencies to make available motivations, such as land use restructurings, grants, building materials cost discount and programmes that will ensure increase housing provision for the Ghana Armed Forces.
