| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of thisstudywas to assess the role of public – private collaboration practices, namely; information sharing (IS), decision synchronization (DS) and incentive alignment (IA) onthe performance of supply of essential pharmaceuticals (PSEP) in Ethiopian PharmaceuticalSupply Service (EPSS). A quantitative approach alongside explanatory design was applied. Primary data was collected through a survey using a pre validated 34 items, (9 IS, 9 DS, 7 IA and 9 PSEP), containingstructured electronicquestionnaire.The study employed purposive sampling technique. Accordingly 104 actual respondents were obtained from public and private suppliers.All were collected for subsequent analysis. The reliability was checked to be at Cronbach’s α of .894; proving the internal consistency isappropriate and highly acceptable. 75% of respondents were from EPSS.73%were male, 52% had bachelors’ and 48% masters’ degree.40% were at administrative level while 60%were department officers.Pearson’s Correlation showed significant and positive relationwith PSEP. The regression, R2was .328. While β value was .264, .238 and .215 respectively for IS, DS and IA, with a P- value < 0.05; All the practices summed up to improve the supply of essential pharmaceuticals by 33%. Meanwhile, IS, DS and IA contributed for this effect in an orderly manner of magnitude respectively. In conclusion, IS, DS, and IA,although a relatively lower adjusted R2, being a baseline study, they have an appreciableand significant effect on PSEP.Consequently stakeholders might exploit the studiedfactors while seeking supply performance improvement. Else, further studies could treat the scenario from public and private supplier’s perspectivesindependently in qualitative manner for each factor.
