PPP Contracts: Amendments to PPP Projects Based on Experience in Flanders Hasselt University
The past few decades have seen a sharp rise in the number of PPP projects globally.2 The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (better known as the OECD) sees public private partnerships (PPP or 3P) as a key instrument to reduce the growing gap between our infrastructural needs and the availability of public resources.3 The report “Infrastructure to 2030: Main Findings and Policy Recommendations” said that countries worldwide ...
Synthesis and Antiviral Evaluation of TriPPPro-AbacavirTP, TriPPPro-CarbovirTP, and Their 1,2-cis-Disubstituted Analogues KU Leuven
Herein we describe the synthesis of lipophilic triphosphate prodrugs of abacavir, carbovir, and their 1',2'-cis-substituted carbocyclic analogues. The 1',2'-cis-carbocyclic nucleosides were prepared by starting from enantiomerically pure (1R,2S)-2-((benzyloxy)methyl)cyclopent-3-en-1-ol by a microwave-assisted Mitsunobu-type reaction with 2-amino-6-chloropurine. All four nucleoside analogues were prepared from their 2-amino-6-chloropurine ...
Knowledge management in transport infrastructure PPP projects: An ex-post public enterprise perspective Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Similar to developments taking place worldwide, several state owned enterprises in Belgium have adopted the public-private partnership (PPP) financing mechanism for the provision of parts of their transport infrastructure investments. This involvement in a PPP does however require new skills in order to deal with complex projects, as prior research shows that there is a difference between PPP-related skills and traditional public actor ...

How Do Governments Support the Development of Public Private Partnerships? Measuring and Comparing PPP Governmental Support in 20 European Countries KU Leuven University of Antwerp
© 2015 Taylor & Francis. Abstract: Taking an institutional perspective, in this article we develop an index of the governmental support for public private partnership (PPP) — a ‘PPP Governmental Support Index’ (GSI) — which aims to measure the extent to which national governments provide an institutional framework that is either conducive or preventive for the introduction and diffusion of PPPs within transport infrastructure and other ...
Ten Lessons from Ten Years PPP Experience in Belgium KU Leuven University of Antwerp Ghent University
© 2016 Institute of Public Administration Australia In 2004 Flanders, the northern region of Belgium launched a range of large public–private partnership (PPP) projects for a total value of 6 billion euros. Ten years later, PPP has become a well-embedded procurement method for long-term public infrastructure projects. This article makes a critical ‘round-up’ of PPP experience in Belgium based on the perspectives of infrastructure professionals ...
Inferential analysis of road infrastructure PPP sponsor networks University of Antwerp
In the road infrastructure sector, public-private partnership (PPP) projects involve the implementation of project finance principles through the signing of a long-term contract between the public authority and a group of sponsors assembled in a special purpose vehicle (SPV). However, although PPP sponsors play a very important role in SPV formation, the literature does not provide sufficient information to permit a detailed understanding of ...
Development and Application of an Inter-Organizational PPP Knowledge Transfer Effectiveness Model for Knowledge Sourced in Public Sector Organizations Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research aim is to develop and apply the conceptual inter-organizational knowledge transfer effectiveness (IOKTE) model to the inter-organizational transfer of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) related knowledge between public sector organizations in Flanders. The model assumes a relationship between an individual’s ability to make PPP-related decisions and the extent to which knowledge is sought after, applied and shared in an inter-organi- ...
