PRIVATE-­‐PUBLIC-­‐PEOPLE-­‐

PARTNERSHIP  (PPPP):        

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.

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

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 g o i n g o n l y d ow n s t r e a m , a n d 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)

Decision  maker:  planning  

Developer:  realizaAon  

End-­‐user:        usage  

Tradi6onal  situa6on  (PPPs)  

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?

GOOD  PRACTICES  ANALYSIS  

Selection of 6 case studies •  3 PPPs •  3 PPPPs

Selection criteria •  Relevance to:

o  REMIDA project o  EU framework

•  Sustainability •  Transferability

THE  4th  P    4th P added value:

•  Integration of perspectives à new knowledge •  More connection among all actors •  Innovative decisions •  Legitimacy, sustainability and efficacy of actions •  Behavioural changes/citizens’ commitment •  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
