The development of public-private partnerships is identified as a key mechanism for attracting investment to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, including Objective 9 “Sustainable Infrastructure, Promoting Comprehensive and Sustainable Industrialization and Innovation” and Objective 17 “Strengthening the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development and Enhancing It”. It is proposed to introduce into scientific circulation the concept of international-public-private partnership, taking into account the interests and funds of international organizations and international donors. The mutual coherence of the interests of the state and the private sector in the partnership is analyzed. Different variations of the interaction of institutional intermediaries through the prism of specific actors (state, business, civil society and international organization) are considered. The institutional support of international-public-private partnership to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals of the old industrial regions is analyzed. It is determined that in order to develop and support international-public-private partnership projects to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in the old industrial regions it is necessary to create a single system for implementation and monitoring of international-public-private partnership projects taking into account all established institutions. The system of institutions for the development of international-public-private partnerships includes financial and non-financial institutions. It is proposed to establish the Center for International-Public-Private Partnership as an independent expert body, the purpose of which is to prepare, organize and support international-public-private partnership projects, as well as to provide support to public administration and business.

PurposePublic-Private Partnership (PPP) is a common practice in both the public and private sectors. PPP has been an important instrument to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the national level. However, the role of PPP at the subnational level is often scarcely studied. Using Khulna city of Bangladesh as a case, this paper aims to assess the role of PPP projects in the attainment of SDGs.Design/methodology/approachThe research was conducted in the Central Business District (CBD) of Khulna, on a total of 4.6 kilometers stretches of road medians in the CBD where landscaping was done through the PPP approach. Besides the collection of secondary data from official records, primary data were collected through site visits, field surveys and interviews of PPP project partners.FindingsThe result shows that 89 percent of the respondents (road users) were pleased with the landscaping done on the road medians. Similarly, about 86 percent of the respondents felt more comfortable and safer to use the roads. Well-maintained road medians allow road-crossing at a regular interval which reduces the chance of an accident. The private parties have installed promotional billboards on the road medians and saved BDT 10.82 million a year. The public authority saves the maintenance budget amounting to BDT 23 million a year. The project achieves a triple-win situation. Despite some limitations, this PPP project has taken Khulna a step forward to achieve SDGs.Originality/valueThe findings have policy implications as the PPP project has enhanced the resilience of Khulna by addressing the relevant SDGs.

In the last few decades, there has been increased worldwide awareness of the necessity to consider development from a holistic perspective, for human development without adequate environmental protection is undermined. Cameroon, like many other developing countries has made great strides in establishing and putting in place an environmental assessment system to mainstream environmental concerns into development initiatives. The full realization of this goal, however, depends on the effectiveness of the exercise which hinges principally on the provisions of relevant legislation, the institutional framework, the procedure and practice of the assessment process. Environmental assessment in many developing countries is fraught with a plethora of setbacks which can jeopardize the full contribution of the exercise to the attainment of the sustainable development goals, if not taken care of. Based on experience and field research, this study examines the current practice of environmental assessment in Cameroon, the difficulties encountered in developing countries, the chances of environmental assessment contributing to sustainability and makes recommendations on how to improve the practice in developing countries.

AbstractThe chapter argues that India’s emerging practice of triangular cooperation does not fit easily with established definitions and concepts. India’s special brand of engagement in triangular cooperation has the potential to reshape important aspects of the global architecture of development cooperation and make significant contributions to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The chapter suggests how Indian experience can inform the analysis and international practice to increase the value of triangular cooperation for developing countries.
