“…This finding corresponds with conclusions that have been drawn in other PPP studies [97,135]. In essence, profit is a fundamental goal in an enterprise's willingness to participate in PPPs [93]. One explanation for the lower factor loading value than risk index for Component 3 could be that profit is not only comprised of economic but also public considerations [25].…”

“…Therefore, the PPP model is well-suited to SLCT construction due to its ability to satisfy multiple partners' interests and demands [18,73,90] by way of funds, talent, operational experience, and financial insurance [91]. Private partners are the key stakeholders in SLCT PPP projects [17,92,93], and their willingness to participate can directly contribute to sustainable urbanization. Related studies have explored the selection criteria for private partners from the perspectives of governments [94,95] and the willingness of private sectors to invest in the infrastructures PPP projects from case studies in the UK [25,96,97] and emerging markets [23,94].…”

The Sports and Leisure Characteristic Town (SLCT) has become a reasonable strategy for enhancing the sustainability of new urbanization processes in rural China. Although the Chinese government has issued a series of policies to support the development of SLCTs, limited financial resources are a major obstacle. Thus, public-private partnerships (PPPs) have been increasingly encouraged for establishing SLCT projects. However, the factors that significantly influence private partners’ willingness to participate in SLCT PPP projects remain unclear. The authors of this paper conducted expert interviews and questionnaire surveys concerning the SLCT PPP projects that have been implemented in China, identifying 23 factors that can be grouped into five major components using principal component factor analysis. Multiple linear regression was then performed to evaluate the relationships between factors and private partners’ willingness to participate. The results indicated that the factors that critically influence private partners’ willingness to participate include stakeholder factors, the internal factors of private partners, external environmental risk factors, the supporting measure factors of SLCTs, and the locational factors of SLCTs. This work also offers suggestions for encouraging private partners to participate in SLCT PPP projects. This study can provide a theoretical basis and practical guidance for government and private partners in order to help them implement sustainable SLCT PPP projects.

“…In fact, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development calls explicitly for action to "all countries and all stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership, to implement the plan" [27]. In this context, the effectiveness of these PPPs will be crucial to achieving the SDGs [100], regarding its ability to create sustainable futures in terms of economic, social, and environmental considerations. Yet, prior studies have shown that PPPs also offer a series of disadvantages or limitations, such as high transaction costs, limited innovation, or difficulties integrating service models in the case of multiple stakeholders with conflicting interests [12,101].…”

EASIER: An Evaluation Model for Public–Private Partnerships Contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Recently, public–private partnerships (PPPs) have attracted renewed attention as a valuable tool to close the gap between public services and social needs. In fact, the United Nations (UN) proposed collaboration across multiple stakeholders as one of the key goals for securing global sustainable development. Yet, PPPs remain a controversial proposition for many due to, among other factors, the complexity and limitation of current systems to assess their impact beyond the notion of value for money. This study offers a conceptual model (EASIER) that accounts for six dimensions that are relevant for social, environmental, and economic progress. We also propose a questionnaire to assess the impact of PPPs on UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and apply it to a PPP contract as an illustration. We advocate the use of EASIER as an initial evaluation model due to its simplicity and its holistic perspective.

“…The emergence of public-private partnerships combines public and private policy instruments and all components of the policy-process in more collaborative form of governance (Lambin & Thorlakson, 2018). The actors in PPPs develop relations and influence the projects to make specific attention towards sustainability concerns in the implementation (Marx, 2019). Legitimacy is not only about direct decision-making influence, but also assure the decisions have been made in a fair and unbiased manner through transparency and representation of relevant social and interest groups (Tyler & Lind, 1992).…”

“…All members of successful partnerships are working toward the same end and dedicated to achieve common goals. Private actors in public-private partnerships are involved in policy-making including agenda-setting, negotiation, resource provision implementation, monitoring, and enforcement (Marx, 2019). The proliferation of publicprivate partnerships is rapidly reconfiguring the international forestry landscape.…”

Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are considered as “win-win” solutions to both government and market failures in sustainable forest management. PPPs in Sri Lanka are filling a regulatory gap resulting from withdrawal of government from the management of forest resources. The national forest policy has emphasized afforestation, conservation and protection as the main components of emerged government-community, donor–recipient and public–private partnerships with local people, rural communities and other stakeholders. Timber and fuel-wood plantations, and agro-forestry woodlots have been established through partnerships. Eco-tourism has been given special emphasis through partnerships between the government agencies, private sector and communities. Private sector involves in forestry as a business through sustainable agro-forestry, imparting financial gain. The government has identified risk mitigation as an integral part of the government–community partnership planning process. Investments of private sector in forest management are committed to enhance inflow of foreign exchange earnings through the export of value added forest products. The Forest Ordinance has empowered Forest Department for the management, protection and development of forest resources. PPPs are far less frequent in rule-setting and implementation of timber and fuel-wood plantations and agro-forestry woodlots. Work undertaken by community based organizations in PPPs occurs on a minor scale. Private-sector involvement in forest resources management has raised serious concerns by public perception about conflict of interest. The Government needs serious efforts and amendment of forest policies to promote public-private partnerships for the sustainable development of forest resources.
