The study adopted mixed-methods study using an observational and descriptive survey approach and the stakeholders that were in the best position to give data on the two highways under study population included the National Road Fund Agency (NRFA), Ministry of Housing and Infrastructure Development, Road Development Agency (RDA), and road users as the main stakeholders for the construction of both mentioned roads. 70 people were selected for the purpose of sample size determination and 60 was the determined sample size using taro yamene formula. Questionnaires were the study tool used to gather data and the data were analyzed using regression modeling as well as descriptive statistics like frequency counts and percentages and thematic analysis was used for qualitative data. The conclusion of the study was that the comparison of the economic effect of PPP modalities on both Chingola solwezi road and Lusaka Dual Carriage way showed the aiding of reduction in poverty by increasing per capita GDP growth and reducing income inequality; both roads helps stimulate economic development, particularly for captured districts. There was significant effect on risks of PPP modalities during the construction and the biggest risks in a PPP contract on both roads was mostly found to do with weak project bankability, unstable economic policies, inadequate funds, technical, and managerial capabilities of concessionaires are the main factors preventing PPPs from reaching financial objectives are risks for both banks and furthermore, the comparison of the procurement process of PPP modalities during the construction on both roads showed the long-term PPP contracts further hold complications in terms of addressing conflicts between the stakeholders, technological advancements, and population changes.enThesis
