Introduction

In an era of increasingly complex global challenges—from infrastructure deficits and climate change to healthcare access and sustainable development—traditional funding and implementation models often fall short. Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a powerful and indispensable mechanism, leveraging the strengths, resources, and innovation of both government and private sectors to deliver essential services and large-scale projects.
