<p>The article focuses on the challenges of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) from an African perspective. It examines various implementation challenges and measures to enhance PPPs in the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba District of Ghana. This study utilizes qualitative data sources from interviews with thirty participants from government institutions, private partners, and the public. It employs Network Governance Theory (NGT) to better understand the dynamics of PPP challenges and to address them through collaborative networks aimed at solving public problems at the local level in Ghana. The study revealed that a lack of participation and transparency led to non-acceptance by beneficiary groups, limited funding for government agencies, and insufficient capacity among implementing partners. Other implementation challenges include the competencies of the parties involved, political interferences, lack of adherence to agreements by government agencies and private entities, bribery and corruption, conflicts of interest, and overlapping roles. Public and private sector actors need to strictly adhere to PPP agreements and encourage transparency and openness in PPP agreements as measures to enhance project implementation at the local level. The study contributes to the understanding of PPPs, particularly in Africa, by providing insights from a rural setting.</p>
