    Transparency and risk allocation in PPP: Addressing complex contracts' mathematical formulas in the portuguese case
    2022-04-21 - Matos, José M. A.; Vilela, Noémia Bessa; Oplotnik, Žan Jan; Morais, Paulo
    Concept of partnership between public and private entities, commonly addressed as »Public private partnership« or PPP, have spread all over the world as an innovative model to deliver public services and to help established public infra-structure; as railways and roads, water supply facilities and sewerage systems, other communal services and public infrastructure, even building and managing hospitals, elderly homes, etc. In order to serve the public interest, PPP projects should be based upon a negotiated allocation of risk, which means that project risks should be distributed equaly between the partners. However, issues of transparency, good governance and public accountability have been at risk in the process. Through the Portuguese case of PPP involving the reward contract for the construction and maintenance of highways, the argument for the need of transparent and readable information is presented.

    Government transparency: reality or mirage?
    2017-07 - Bessa-Vilela, Noémia; Caramelo-Gomes, José; Morais, Paulo
    All citizens are entitled to access governmental information as, only if properly informed, that they can participate in politics. The right to information is enshrined in a number of international agreements, including Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The right of citizens to access public authorities’ information is called Freedom of information. This information plays a crucial role in informing the population so that they can make accurate political choices. The mere disposal of information is not enough, as much of public documents suffer from complex language and other technicalities that can prevent an informed use of the information. Thus, sites displaying information must be adapted in order to guarantee usability, functionality and accessibility; there must be different levels of information, as there are diverse groups of individuals with different skills. Such usability, functionality and accessibility require designing effective communications, paying attention to balancing the complexity that citizens can manage and the complexity that those responsible for the requested information are producing.
