Critical Factors Affecting InterOrganisationl Collaboration Among MDA’S In Public Housing Progamme Delivery In Kebbi State

This study explores the critical factors impacting inter-organisational collaboration among ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) in public housing project delivery in Kebbi State, Nigeria. Collaboration in the public sector is vital for effective housing delivery, yet several barriers and drivers influence the success of these efforts. Through a survey of construction professionals across six agencies, factors such as coordination, accountability, commitment, and involvement of key partners emerged as significant barriers to collaboration. Conversely, factors like partner selection, project staffing, and effective quality control were identified as drivers facilitating collaboration. Statistical analysis, including Spearman’s correlation, was used to assess the relationships between barriers and drivers. Results indicate a complex interplay where certain factors function both as barriers and drivers, suggesting areas for targeted improvement. The findings offer insights into how strategic enhancement of critical factors can improve collaboration and, consequently, the quality and efficiency of housing projects.
