Abstract

Climate change has become a major issue in cities that champion the path to the sustainable development of cities. Recent effort by COP 26 has buoyed the emphasis for improving neighborliness of climate and humankind. Since cities anchor national prosperity and act as and centre for policy making and actions for the country, they act as an important administrative structure for championing climate agenda. Although the literature on adaptation to climate change is rapidly expanding, little is known about how the adoption of new public management tool, public private partnerships(PPPs) contribute to climate sustainability, yet the adoption of PPPs is on the rise in traditional and emerging smart cities. Based on a review of literature, this study provides insights on how PPPs can enable city administrations to play a key role for supporting climate sustainable agenda of nations especially in Sub Saharan Africa that is considered a victim of climate change and yet this part of the world is deemed to have been insignificantly responsible for the climate change by largely affected negative effects of today’s climate change.

Abstract

The study investigated the influence of procurement planning on procurement performance in Public Higher Education Institutions by focusing on UMI. The study was guided by the resource-based view (RBV) theory and the European foundation for quality management model. In Uganda most government Institutions such as UMI have registered certain constraints in procurement performance and this could be a result of inadequate procurement planning on a timely basis as required by the PPDA Act 2003. The objectives of the study were:  to find out the relationship between procurement needs assessment and procurement performance, to examine the relationship between procurement budgeting and procurement performance and to analyze the relationship between information sharing and procurement performance at UMI. The study used the cross sectional research design. The sample size comprised of 119 stakeholders and the response rate was 63%. The information got from the data collection instrument was analyzed by the researcher   and the findings of the study were:  there is a strong positive relationship between needs assessment and procurement performance, there is a weak positive relationship between procurement budgeting and procurement performance and there is a fairly positive relationship between information sharing and procurement performance. It was concluded that there is a close relationship between Procurement planning and organizational performance of operations and projects of public Higher Education Institutions in Uganda.  It was recommended that the PDU should always liaise with User Departments to ensure that they undertake a thorough needs assessment, the heads of departments should always ensure that they involve their subordinates in procurement budgeting and that the PDU should always avail the User Departments, with the right PPDA procedures and guidelines on procurement planning and budgeting.
