International strategic framework of public-private partnership

“We may not yet know which technologies or services will enable us to overcome the challenges posed by the SDGs, but I am confident that we will rely heavily on public-private partnerships to achieve them.”

The 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) constitute a global framework for addressing economic, social, and environmental challenges with the objective of building a fairer, more prosperous, and sustainable world. Although the objectives are clearly defined, their implementation encounters numerous obstacles:

• Financial gap: globally, an annual investment shortfall of between 2.5 and 4 trillion USD impedes goal achievement;
• Limited institutional and managerial capacities
• Technological uncertainty;
• Inequalities within and among countries;
• Climate risks and environmental degradation;
• Lack of data and indicators.

Addressing these challenges requires innovative models, with public-private partnerships (PPP) emerging as a crucial instrument by helping to bridge the financial gap, enhance capacities, facilitate the accelerated adoption of technologies, and establish clear frameworks for measurement and risk allocation.
