Overview
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have become a critical tool for social development and impact. By combining the resources, innovation, and efficiency of the private sector with the public sector s practices in inclusivity, equity, and long-term social goals, PPPs can address complex social challenges. These partnerships are valuable in sectors like healthcare, education, and infrastructure, where high investment and expertise are needed to meet the needs of underserved populations. As global issues like poverty, inequality, and climate change demand collaborative approaches, PPPs offer a creative model for sustainable, inclusive development that delivers tangible benefits to communities. Understanding how these partnerships operate, and their potential for transformative social impact, is crucial for harnessing their full potential. Public Private Partnerships for Social Development and Impact examines how governments can integrate public and private sector practices to improve education, healthcare, and business organizations. It explores the social impact of public-private partnerships, including updated policymaking, climate impact acknowledgement, and sustainable infrastructure and development. This book covers topics such as knowledge management, personalized education, and culture studies, and is a useful resource for business owners, policymakers, sociologists, educators, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
