Title How Public-Private Partnerships in Kyrgyzstan Can Be Developed More Effectively: a Case Study Approach
Summary The purpose of this study is to develop policy recommendations on how public-private partnerships (PPP) in Kyrgyzstan can be developed more effectively, transparent and beneficial for the society as it is the final beneficiary of PPP, as well as for the public and private partners and involved investors. The research idea is to select and analyze case studies of PPP infrastructural projects with completed construction and ongoing operations from post-socialist countries, gain an understanding of these projects’ experience, successes and mistakes and develop relevant policy recommendations for PPP projects in Kyrgyzstan. The research is implemented using the case studies method. The case studies of two PPP projects from Poland and Russia are selected for the thesis: paid underground parking “Immo Park” at the Nowy Targ square in Wroclaw, Poland, and Western High-Speed Diameter (toll highway) in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. Information about the projects is collected from various online sources, including academic papers, annual thematic reports issued by government authorities, and news reports in English, Russian and Polish languages. The study makes a point to notify the readers that PPP can become a source of problems for the public sector, depending on the project area and if the PPP agreement is not balanced and was not developed in favor of the people’s welfare. Policy recommendations to Kyrgyzstan regarding PPP concern several areas: (1) strengthening the work around PPP legislation, (2) deeper engagement with local communities and civil society, (3) stronger local governments, (4) environmental compliance and (5) improvement of specific PPP preparation and implementation processes.
