Public-Private Partnership (PPP): Some Reflections on Ethiopian Higher Education
Abstract
Public- Private Partnership(PPP) is a post-cold war phenomenon developed with the advent and popularization of theories likeNew Public Management (NPM) and Alternate Service Delivery (ASD). It has become one of the important developmental tools and many countries have also gained significant results by effectively using public-private partnerships in higher education.
In addition to the various practical benefits public-private partnership both to the public and the private sectors, to the government, to the general public and others, in Ethiopia there are a number of reasons for such partnerships to be established, developed and utilized. More over, the level of higher education development in Ethiopia provides avery wide opportunity for public- private partnerships. Yet, the state ofpublic-private partnership in Ethiopian higher education is very low and unorganized and thus requires lots of effort from all stakeholders .This summary research report is extracted from the author’s Masters’
Thesis carried out in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Public Administration (MPA), Faculty of Business and Economics, Addis Ababa University. The research wascarried out under the of Dr. Mulugeta Abebe, whom I wish to acknowledge for his helpful and instructive guidance
