Low income urban housing in Kenya is underdeveloped as a result of uninnovative financing, hence the many slums and informal settlements in the country, hence the need for enhanced participation of the private sector through application of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), which has been cited as one of the possible solutions. The purpose of this study was to investigate and make predictions of the need for enhanced role of private sector in developing low income urban housing in Kenya through PPPs.,Delphi method of research was used to forecast the enhanced role of private sector through PPPs in the development of low income urban housing in Kenya. Three rounds Delphi iterations using three panels of housing financiers (30 in number), housing developers (28 in number) and housing practitioners (30 in number) were used. Data was collected through questionnaires throughout the three rounds, where the first round was exploratory in nature, the second round built on answers from round one, while round three was based on answers from round two, after which the mean and standard deviation values were calculated to show the level of consensus.,Results showed that PPPs is one of the plausible ways through which low income urban housing in Kenya can be developed to address its shortage. Private sector in PPP transaction brings innovative technology, finance and efficiency, while government brings its assets such as land and other regulations long term contracts.,The research was focussed on the Nairobi city county area in analysing the need for enhanced role of the private parties. It focussed on a panel of Housing practitioners-officers in the State Department for housing and Nairobi city county; housing financiers and housing developers, without interviewing the beneficiaries of the method.,It was, therefore, found out that PPPs models are applicable in developing low income urban housing because the country has the enabling environment for its effective application going forward. The implication of this study is that low income urban housing can be developed through the model.,The slums and informal settlements will have adequate, affordable and quality housing being introduced within their neighbourhoods, which reduces political and societal animosities.,This research has benefited from published literature on PPPs and original research on PPPs.

通过公共私营伙伴关系加强私营部门在肯尼亚低收入城市住房中的作用

肯尼亚的低收入城市住房由于缺乏创新的融资而欠发达，因此该国有许多贫民窟和非正式定居点，因此需要通过应用公私伙伴关系（PPP）来加强私营部门的参与。作为可能的解决方案之一。这项研究的目的是调查并预测通过PPP在肯尼亚发展低收入城市住房中增强私营部门作用的必要性。Delphi研究方法用于预测通过PPP在肯尼亚低收入城市住房中增强私营部门的作用。肯尼亚低收入城市住房的发展。进行了三轮Delphi迭代，使用了三个小组的住房金融家（数目为30），住房开发商（数目为28）和住房从业者（数目为30）。通过三轮问卷调查收集数据，第一轮本质上是探索性的，第二轮以第一轮的答案为基础，而第三轮是基于第二轮的答案，然后计算均值和标准差值结果表明，购买力平价是肯尼亚开发低收入城市住房以解决其短缺的可行方式之一。PPP交易中的私营部门带来了创新的技术，财务和效率，而政府带来了土地和其他法规等长期合同等资产。该研究的重点是内罗毕市县地区，分析了增强私营部门作用的必要性。它集中于国务院住房和内罗毕市县的住房从业人员－官员小组；因此，人们发现PPPs模型可用于发展低收入城市住房，因为该国拥有继续有效应用其有利环境。该研究的意义在于可以通过该模型开发低收入城市住房。贫民窟和非正式住区将在其社区内引入适当，负担得起的优质住房，这减少了政治和社会仇恨。摘自PPP的已出版文献和PPP的原始研究。因此，没有发现该方法的受益者。因此，发现购买力平价模型可用于发展低收入城市住房，因为该国拥有继续有效应用其有利环境。该研究的意义在于可以通过该模型开发低收入城市住房。贫民窟和非正式住区将在其社区内引入适当，负担得起的优质住房，这减少了政治和社会仇恨。摘自PPP的已出版文献和PPP的原始研究。因此，没有发现该方法的受益者。因此，发现购买力平价模型可用于发展低收入城市住房，因为该国拥有继续有效应用其有利环境。该研究的意义在于可以通过该模型开发低收入城市住房。贫民窟和非正式住区将在其社区内引入适当，负担得起的优质住房，这减少了政治和社会仇恨。摘自PPP的已出版文献和PPP的原始研究。发现PPP模式适用于发展低收入城市住房，因为该国拥有继续有效应用的有利环境。该研究的意义在于可以通过该模型开发低收入城市住房。贫民窟和非正式住区将在其社区内引入适当，负担得起的优质住房，这减少了政治和社会仇恨。摘自PPP的已出版文献和PPP的原始研究。发现PPP模式适用于发展低收入城市住房，因为该国拥有继续有效应用的有利环境。该研究的意义在于可以通过该模型开发低收入城市住房。贫民窟和非正式住区将在其社区内引入适当，负担得起的优质住房，这减少了政治和社会仇恨。摘自PPP的已出版文献和PPP的原始研究。
