Abstract: In recent years, public-private partnership (PPP) has been advocated for as a medium to build critical infrastructure resilience. PPPs provides an added value achieved from greater co-operation among public-private sector entities. Performance measurement is critical to identify the difficulties and challenges that affects the PPP in executing their role in building critical infrastructure resilience. While the PPP concept is not novel, the precise performance measurement of a PPP in critical infrastructure resilience has not been explored yet. Key performance resilience indicators provide an assessment to measure the performance of a PPP set up to build critical infrastructure resilience. Since the area of performance assessment of PPP in critical infrastructure resilience has not been examined yet, this study used quantitative approach to develop a performance index to help quantify the performance of the PPP in critical infrastructure resilience using fuzzy synthetic evaluation method. The performance index developed consists of four major critical performance criteria groupings: these include, Hazard Detection, Continuity plans, Disruptive event detection, Functional Performance. The evaluation model can be used to objectively determine the performance of a PPP in building critical infrastructure resilience.
