QUESTION 1
Stakeholders play different roles in Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). Some of these roles are
obligatory but others are dependent on the competencies and comparative advantage of the
other actors that are involved in the PPP.
Using a case study, critically discuss the role of stakeholders in the PPP process.

training notes to public- and private sector leaders that incorporates the following.:
a. Explain what are the types of risks that can be associated with PPP projects and
describe how these risks could impact upon national development in Namibia?
b. Discuss the lessons to be learnt from PPPs worldwide that will assist the Government

QUESTION 4
The purpose of the feasibility study is to investigate reliably and in detail whether a project is a
necessary, viable and an achievable investment.
One of the challenges facing local authorities in Namibia is the lack of a feasibility study before
a Public Private Partnership (PPP) is undertaken. As the newly appointed advisor to the Minister
of Urban and Rural Development prepare a presentation to the Kati ma Mulilo Town Council in
which you discuss the importance of a feasibility study before a PPP project is launched and
explain the key components of a comprehensive Feasibility Study Report for the town council
to use in future scenarios.
