REMIDA: People in action, Guidelines of the ppPp model www.informest.it

1.
PRIVATE-­‐PUBLIC-­‐PEOPLE-­‐
PARTNERSHIP
(PPPP):

2. SEAP
AND
PARTICIPATION
Ø Civil society and stakeholders participation are essential for the success of
SEAP and for the achievement of its objectives.
Ø The European Commission guidelines for the elaboration of a SEAP
emphasize the fundamental role of participation for the development of
effective measures aimed at EE and RES.
Ø Stakeholders:
• whose activity are concerned with the plan;
• who are in possession of information and resources important for the
planning of actions and for their implementation;
• who have decision-making / implementation power for the success of
actions aimed at EE and RES.

3. PUBLIC-­‐PRIVATE
PARTNERSHIP
(PPP)
“Forms of cooperation between public authorities and the world of business
which aim to ensure the funding, construction, renovation, management or
maintenance of an infrastructure or the provision of a service” (EC, 2004)
• Long duration
• Funding from the private sector
• Central role of the economic operator (design, completion, implementation)
• Objectives usually defined by the public partner
• Distribution of risks between the public and the private partner
PPPs can be:
• Contractual: based on contractual links
• Institutional: involving the creation of a new entity (joint venture)
ü Funding and know-how from the private sector
ü Increased efficiency and implementation capacity
ü Reduced risks for the public sector

4. FROM
PPP
TO
PPPP
• Top-down decisions
• The developer and the end-user have
little decision-making power within the
planning process
• “Both interfaces, municipality-developer
and developer-end user are unilateral,
with information and decision-making
goi ng onl y downstr eam, and
discontinuities do occur” (Vayrynen,
2007)
• Proliferation of conflicts:
o dissatisfaction
o early termination of contracts
o changes in users needs are not tracked
• “Uncertainty about the quality of PPP
services” (Majamaa, 2008)

5. THE
4Ps
MODEL
“Participation is a broadly accepted sustainability criterion, and at the same
time, it is often a crucial condition to reach sustainability goals” (Arnold and
Barth, 2011)
Primary actors involved:
• Public - municipality
• Private - developer
• People - end-user
The 4P process:
• Interactive
• Direct formal and informal relations between all actors involved
How to include People perspective in PPP?

6. GOOD
PRACTICES
ANALYSIS
Selection of 6 case studies
• 3 PPPs
• 3 PPPPs
Selection criteria
• Relevance to:
o REMIDA project
o EU framework
• Sustainability
• Transferability

P
4th P added value:
• Integration of perspectives à new knowledge
• More connection among all actors

• Greater sense of shared responsibility and citizenship
BUT
• possibility to retard decisions
• Increased complexity
• weak impact à frustration
People: taxpayers, decision makers, administrative subjects, stakeholders, customers, end-users
Early stages à contribution to planning and design
Implementation stages à contribution to construction, operation and management
