“…The contracting authorities are mostly the metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies (MMDAs) and ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs). The private partner could be a developer or a multi-stakeholder consortium (Liang and Hu, 2020). Additionally, it is worth noting that the private partner could also be either a non-profit or a profit-oriented consortium as well (Han et al, 2020).…”

“…Hitherto, physical public infrastructures such as roads, railways, power plants, airports, bridges and public hospitals have private investors' participation been relatively low before the 1990s, but on a contrary, this is no more the case in recent times (Simshauser et al, 2016). It has, therefore, become necessary in recent times for the government to engage the private sector to assist in the delivery of more physical public infrastructures following the global financial crisis, which has limited the flow of donor funds (Liang and Hu, 2020).…”

“…In the research by Van Zanten and Van Tulder, (2018) they argue that the private sector has been recognized as having the ability to reduce social inequalities through the development of inclusive and sustainable business approaches. Liang and Hu (2020) suggest that PPP offers an alternate means of involving the private sector in the delivery of public services. The reasoning behind the partnership is that of limited resources for the public sector, which will be needed to meet its numerous responsibilities.…”

Purpose This paper is anchored in a premise of a universal call to action by all UN member states in 2015 to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030 within the blueprint of the sustainable development goals (SDGS). The purpose of this study is to mainstream the SDGs in Ghana’s energy sector within the framework of public–private partnerships (PPP): challenges, opportunities and strategies. Design/methodology/approach Literature review was carried out to explore concepts, theories and frameworks for initiating PPP. Best local and international practices in the implementation of PPP projects; challenges and opportunities in the implementation of PPP projects, strategies for mainstreaming the SDGs in Ghana’s energy sector and assess business action in the implementation of the SDGs in Ghana’s energy sector. The study is situated within the social constructionist philosophical tradition. The qualitative research strategy was adopted as the main methodological choice. Interview guides were used to collect data from respondents in the Accra metropolis. Findings Lack of a PPP policy law in Ghana, conflict of interest in PPP projects, excessive government control over projects, cumbersome licensing and legal regime and economic stability were the most significant challenges identified to PPPs. Technology transfer, efficiency gains and mobilization of additional resources for development on the government side where the opportunities for the private sector. Awareness creation, modeling inclusive business with corporate social responsibility (CSR) and SDGs, exploring business opportunities in SDGs such as carbon trading, aligning national policies with SDGs, establishing sustainability units and partnerships with relevant bodies were proposed for mainstreaming the SDGs in Ghana’s energy sector. Research limitations/implications It was established from this study that indeed PPPs have a major role to play in unleashing all available forces and prospects toward achieving the SDGs. This paper is constrained to the energy industry in Ghana. It provides a theory-based direction on how companies in the energy sector can contribute to social and economic interventions through a framework of PPP framework within the SGDs. Future research may explore how companies in other sectors may contribute to the sustainability discourse. Practical implications This will ultimately lead to additional funding to support government efforts in the implementation of SDGs, honing of sustainable (inclusive) business models, creating an enabling environment for PPPs toward inclusive growth and national development leaving no one behind. It recommended that there should be a national policy and law on PPPs and the private sector should be incentivized to engage government in PPPs implementation for the SDGs. Theoretically, this study contributes to the policy analysis discourse and scaling-up literature on the SDGs. Originality/value This study explores the challenges associated with mainstreaming the SGDs in the energy sector from a public–private business perspective. It also offers a new policy, economic and legal regulatory framework that contributes to emerging trends. The outcome of the analyzes advocates for clear business strategies for implementation of the SDG apart from CSR.

“…Despite both the literature reviewed and empirical evidence establishing that pure alliancing had never been used in infrastructure development in SA, the literature proposed adopting alliancing principals of mutual and active commitment from both parties while the majority of participants were open to trying other contracting systems. While alliancing could be used on any project type, it showed greater results on complex and mega projects were innovative ideas and skills sharing could be realized (Aladag & Isik, 2020; Badi & Pryke, 2015; Liang & Hu, 2018; Ng et al, 2010; Ochieng et al, 2017). Rather than removing the public partner as an actor, alliancing demanded to strengthen its capacities thereby achieving social and commercial viability that benefits both parties.…”

As significant increases in the financing of infrastructure and other resources will still be required to bridge the current infrastructure gap experienced globally, alternatives to the standard PPP infrastructure project delivery models are constantly appraised in several nations. This research examined the viability of reframing Public Private Partnership (PPP) frameworks as hybrid PPP alliances (HPPPA), which would enhance current PPP practices and enable practitioners in South Africa to deliver PPP infrastructure projects more efficiently. The research adopted a two-pronged qualitative data collection approach, utilizing semi-structured interviews as well as case studies to obtain empirical evidence that was compared to secondary data on how PPP practices in South Africa can be enhanced. The research established that while the South African PPP legislations was adjudged as being suitable, the delivery framework was found to be highly costly and comprised of long approval processes.

“…As China's economy enters a new normal, the demand for infrastructure is increasing, while the traditional direct investment and construction by the government can hardly meet the public requirement for quality infrastructure [1]. e proposed public-private partnership (PPP) provides a new approach for the government to alleviate the debt pressure, broaden nancing channels, and improve public services, thus is widely adopted in China [2]. According to the annual report, by the end of 2021, China's cumulated PPP projects reached 13,359, and the total investment amount reached 193,758.837 billion yuan, an increase of 9.89%.…”

When the government decides to use the public-private partnership (PPP) in projects, such as infrastructure construction, selecting a private-sector partner that meets the project's needs is one of the key factors for successful implementation, but this is ignored in existing research. On this basis, this paper proposes a GRA-VIKOR method based on the combined weight of the improved CRITIC-entropy weight method (EWM). The traditional CRITIC method is improved by combining it with EWM. The combined weights are measured, which reduces the limitations of the single weight. Considering the inherent correlation of evaluation indicators, the VIKOR method is combined with the grey relational analysis (GRA), which makes the results of the selection assessment more reasonable. This paper carries out a case study of the first inland navigation PPP project in China. Through preliminary tracking studies, it tests the effectiveness of the proposed method, the superiority of which is demonstrated by comparing the evaluation results with those of the traditional GRA methods, VIKOR, and TOPSIS.
