Abstract

This research explores the effectiveness of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in the delivery of Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) programs in India from 2018 to 2023. As India seeks to bridge the healthcare gap for persons with disabilities (PwDs), CBR models supported through PPPs offer a unique avenue for innovation, funding, and sustainability. This paper evaluates how these partnerships influence financial risk, return on investment (ROI), and stakeholder engagement. The research uses descriptive statistics, including measures such as mean, median, standard deviation, and variance, to analyze program performance across states like Maharashtra, Kerala, and Jharkhand. It includes stakeholder feedback scores, funding allocations, and ROI trends, all of which are interpreted using quantitative tools and regression analysis. Case studies further enrich the findings by providing practical insights into real-world implementation. The results indicate that well-managed PPPs yield high ROI and stable satisfaction levels across public and private stakeholders. Government funding has also shown consistent growth over the years. Overall, the study offers a data-backed policy framework for reducing risk and enhancing returns in community rehabilitation through structured PPPs, making a case for wider adoption of such models in India’s health and social infrastructure sectors.
