Public private partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a dynamic means for nations to enhance infrastructure development, spur economic growth, foster innovation, engage the private sector and optimise financial resources. These collaborations hold the potential to transform governments' capacity to achieve comprehensive development objectives and attract crucial investments. However, implementing PPPs effectively is a multifaceted endeavour, requiring a thorough examination of Critical Success Factors (CSFs) to ensure enduring benefits. CSFs lie at the heart of successful PPP execution, shaping a culture of excellence within organisations and ensuring success throughout the planning, identification and assessment phases. Kenya stands as a prominent example, having established a transparent legal framework for PPPs within its borders. Kenya's persistent efforts to catalyse private investment in infrastructure development provides a valuable case study. This research primarily employs a doctrinal approach, examining existing legal documents and materials to understand the strengths and challenges of implementing PPPs. The paper's main objective is to critically evaluate the CSFs to ascertain the implementation practicality of PPPs. By closely analysing these legal foundations, the article aims to uncover the intricacies of Kenya's approach to PPPs. Through a thorough assessment of CSFs, this research aims to provide valuable insights to guide policymakers and enhance the effectiveness of PPPs. Keywords: public-private partnerships; critical success factors; infrastructure development; Kenya; Sub-Saharan Africa.

The World Bank is undergoing a major reform of its procurement policy which regulates the procurement of projects financed by the Bank. This reform represents a major shift from how the Bank used to operate, where it intends to move away from the current one-size-fits-all approach to a more fit-for-purpose approach. The Bank usually provides financial assistance for development projects and its procurement policies are significant for the general development community, especially those developing countries that rely on the Bank for financial assistance to implement major development projects. This paper examines the policy implications of the World Bank procurement reforms for developing countries, based on doctrinal and empirical research. It analyses the interaction between the World Bank regime and national systems, and highlights the implications for development policies in national systems. The research concludes that the Bank’s reforms represent a significant improvement in the way it used to operate and has the potential to support national development policies in certain limited respects. Largely however, the Bank’s procurement policies remain significantly complex and also limits policy space for the implementation of domestic policies. Keywords: Donors; Foreign Aid; Africa; Anti-Corruption; Development Aid; World Bank.

This paper examines the relationship between corruption and Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) in Africa. Specifically, the paper makes two contributions to the literature. First, it argues that at a macro level, systemic corruption in African countries depletes the already small pool of funds available for public spending, which limits these countries’ ability to pursue SPP outcomes, thus negatively impacting sustainable development. Second, the article draws attention to the need for more specific anti-corruption controls at the micro or institutional levels to address the practice of subverting SPP objectives by corrupt public officials by offering a number of micro-level anti-corruption measures to address the challenge posed by corruption to procurement, including to SPP.
