Abstract: The governance mechanism is examined as a mediator to the potential implementation of the public–private partnership (PPP) in the Sub-Saharan Africa region by using Tanzania as a reference case. There is an intricate relationship between the public and private sector in applying the complex PPP phenomenon on infrastructure development, a decision beyond the government functionality for performance is required to steer its implementation. A need for a network system with a positive mindset to what PPP can achieve in adjusting the efficiency and financial gap to infrastructure. In the mediation model, a mediator can partially or fully facilitate the relationship of the outcome variable. With the use of the bootstrapping method in SPSS, our result evidenced a full mediation through governance to PPP implementation.
