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.

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.

The article analyzes the international engagement of Brazilian subnational governments in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda during the first year of the Bolsonaro’s government with an emphasis on the role of states in supporting the environmental axis. We argue that subnational governments have been strongly active in defending this agenda, unlike the federal government, generating foreign policy tensions. Therefore, the research analyzes the performance of these actors in the scope of the Northeast and the Legal Amazon Consortia.

Nigeria, with its large public sector, equally has an extensive wellestablished private sector; even with the ravages of the recent economic crisis. Both sectors play complementary and important roles as providers of expertise and as implementing agencies. Public-Private Partnership (PPP), the paper posits, is therefore an effort where the government of Nigeria provides the minimum standards required for coordinated collaboration with private sector, in the case of this study, the health sector. Notwithstanding various investment efforts from the public and private sectors into the Nigeria health economy, the performance of the national health system remains deplorable. The paper believes that the declining resource allocation to health, increasing costs and the breakdown in the public health facilities, make the achievement of health-related MDGs’, Millennium Development Goals’, (now SDGs, Sustainable Development Goals’) targets difficult. It is on the basis of this that the study, examines the pattern and scope of existing collaborations, including the nature, distribution of stakeholders in the sector and the characteristics of PPP in the health sector. It also examines the challenges, options and potentials for future partnership. These are examined within the strategic framework of MDGs and suggestions are made on how to overcome the challenges of public-private interventions to ensure effective policy interventions in the current Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs.

Definition Of

Introduction. The modern world community is experiencing a period of globalization with its undoubted positives and some negatives. Among the positives is the course of humanization, efforts to comprehensively ensure fundamental human rights, as illustrated by the development at the UN level of "Sustainable Development Goals" (hereinafter CSW). This human-oriented document was supported by most countries of the world, including Ukraine. The tasks of the CSB are quite serious, the mechanism of their implementation is determined by domestic specifics. In Ukrainian society, there are several areas of implementation of the CSW: through the involvement of resources of the state apparatus, through the activities of various political forces, through public activity, and so on. The political, legal and ideological tools of providing the CSB are undoubtedly positive. However, in our opinion, economic factors are crucial for their implementation. Among them, one of the most important and realistic is the public-private partnership, which unites the state, the private sector and civil society to solve the most important strategic humanistic tasks. The development of its new forms and the creation of a system of political, legal and social means of support is becoming especially relevant in modern domestic realities. Goal. The purpose of scientific work is to consider the importance of public-private partnership, analysis of its essence, the prerequisites for development; economic and legal characteristics of PPP, its features and humanistic components; elaboration of a generalizing concept; substantiation of the value of PPP in the mechanism of CSW implementation; characteristics of economic positives of PPP for society and business; finding out the main directions of PPP development and means of their provision. Method (methodology). The methodological basis of this scientific research is a system of general scientific and special scientific methods. In particular, the system method allows you to see the main characteristics of PPP in their relationship; the method of comparison illustrates the unity of the strategic purpose of PPP and CSW and their relationship; the dialectical method is necessary for definition of still possible directions and forms of development of PPP; the method of economic analysis reveals the weak and problematic "places" of PPP in modern domestic economic and socio-political realities. Results. According to the results of the study, the importance of the development of public-private partnership for the establishment of CSW in Ukraine is argued. The definition of the concept of "public-private partnership" in the plane of the ideology of the modern social economy is given. Its basic principles are described. Emphasis is placed on the positive significance of public-private partnership, both for society and for business. The main directions and forms of public-private partnership development in the current domestic economic realities are determined. Additional economic and political-legal means of its provision and support are offered.
