Abstract
It is worth noting that the National Housing Cooperation (NHC) and National Social Security Fund (NSSF) are the only public sectors in Tanzania which have adopted Public Private Partnership (PPP) as an alternative housing delivery strategy. NHC PPP projects have been carried out in Tanzania since the 1980s and 1990s in the form of Joint Ventures (JVs) prior to the formulation of PPP policy, guidelines and the act. But the NSSF started its housing PPP project in 2013 However, since inception of the formulation of policy guidelines, there have been limited empirical studies undertaken to identify motivational factors in undertaking PPP housing projects. In order to bridge that knowledge gap, the aim of this study is, first to identify the motivating factors for adopting PPPs in housing projects. Second is to examine how these factors influence performance outcomes. A total of 10 semi structured interviews were conducted with practitioners involved in PPP projects in Tanzania. The qualitative data was analysed by content analysis. The findings of this study revealed that, there were similar and unique factors that influenced each sector to adopt PPP including lack of capital, benefit to enjoy the economies of scale, fear to loose condemned properties, increasing revenue, opportunity to own land in prime location, challenges from other investors, the feel of security when partnering with public sector, resource and risk sharing. Therefore, the study provides the following suggestions that, in order to enhance these motivational factors, and yield successful outcomes in terms of housing cost, quality and quantity. There is a need for government to provide support, utilize its PPP unit to assess viability of such projects, amend the PPP laws and policy, and put in place a PPP housing policy to improve, encourage and support private sector participation.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
