Starting from: How can public-private partnerships contribute to sustainable development in Mozambique?

The general objective: to analyze the role of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) for sustainable development in Mozambique. The overall objective: to analyze the role of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) for sustainable development in Mozambique. The specific objectives are: To describe the impacts of the implementation of intrastructure projects in Mozambique through PPPs; Illustrate how PPP beneficiary sectors have incorporated sustainability goals into contracts and public policies; Relate the results of PPPs to the Sustainable Development Goals. The results suggest that while PPPs have the potential to boost sustainable development, challenges such as lack of transparency, limited institutional capacity, and conflicts of interest among partners compromise their effectiveness. It is concluded that, in order to maximize the benefits of PPPs, it is necessary to strengthen governance, promote dialogue between sectors and ensure an inclusive and participatory approach. Thus, PPPs can become valuable tools to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in the country.
