Unraveling Public-Private Partnerships

To address the complex and interconnected challenges of the 21st century, such as climate change and inequities, governments must take an active and  transformative  role in the economy. The state can play an active role in directing innovation and creating solutions  that serve collective wellbeing. In this way, governments should  adopt a mission-driven approach, where the focus is on strategically investing in technologies and initiatives that promote long-term structural transformations.

In this context, Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) can be way for governments to leverage the expertise of the private sector, directing these efforts to support infrastructure, clean  energy, housing, transportation, and other initiatives. PPPs can enable governments and companies to work together to innovate and scale solutions. This guide offers a path for how governments can best collaborate with the private sector to mobilize resources and expertise to build a more resilient and fair future.
