Abstract
The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between relational contracting, stakeholder engagement, and PPP adoption in Uganda based on the following objectives: to examine the relationship between relational contracting and PPP adoption in Uganda, to examine the relationship between stakeholder engagement and PPP adoption in Uganda, and to examine the combined effect of relational contracting and stakeholder engagement on PPP adoption in Uganda. This research employed a quantitative, cross-sectional survey design. A sample size of 92 PDEs was used in this study, as per Krejcie and Morgan's (1970) sample determination table. Data was collected through a structured self-administered questionnaire. The researcher input the data into SPSS V29.0 software. The findings demonstrate that relational contracting significantly influences PPP adoption in Uganda, accounting for 47.3% of the variance. Stakeholder engagement also plays a moderate yet important role, explaining 32.5% of the variance in PPP adoption. When combined, relational contracting and stakeholder engagement explain 50.7% variation in PPP adoption, highlighting the importance of both practices in fostering successful partnerships. It is recommended that policymakers and project implementers prioritize relational contracting by creating frameworks that promote trust, transparency, and collaboration while engaging all stakeholders throughout PPP projects. Structured stakeholder engagement frameworks, with clear communication and participation guidelines, should be implemented to enhance input and feedback from relevant parties. Additionally, government agencies should integrate relational contracting and stakeholder engagement practices in PPPs through training programs and joint monitoring mechanisms to ensure continuous improvement and success.
