The Instrumentality of Public-Private Partnerships for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: PPP is considered a tool for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United Nations, however its instrumentality has never been investigated by previous research. This study explores the instrumental attributes of PPP and their contributions to the SDGs by developing a theoretical model to demonstrate their relationships. A structured analytical framework is developed to re-organise SDGs, based on the WSR method. The instrumental attributes of PPP are identified and classified into six categories. Based on the findings, practical suggestions are provided for the governments to improve the instrumentality of PPP for SDGs. The results can help the governments and practitioners in the global PPP market better understand and improve the instrumentality of PPP in achieving SDGs.
