Evaluating the Role of Public-Private Partnerships in Achieving Sustainable Development Goals: A Comparative Study of Government-Led Initiatives in Developed and Developing Nations

Abstract

This study examines the strategic government use of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. The study will compare PPP frameworks in developed and developing nations to examine how governments and private sectors work together to implement sustainable practices in clean energy, infrastructure, healthcare, and education. This article will also investigate legislative frameworks, regulatory environments, and incentive structures that affect PPP success. Developed economies (e.g., the European Union, Japan) and developing nations (e.g., India, Kenya) face different challenges and opportunities in aligning public and private interests to achieve long-term sustainability goals. The research is expected to inform government policy on optimising PPPs for sustainable development.
