The paper explores the critical role of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in collecting, managing, and using data to accelerate the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially in the Global South.
The power of data and public-private partnerships for sustainable development
November 8, 2024
This policy brief presents sector-specific recommendations, such as tax incentives for the private sector and strengthening regulatory frameworks.
Principales hallazgos
Importance of PPPs in closing data gaps: Partnerships can overcome limitations in data collection and disaggregation, a significant challenge for many developing countries that do not yet have sufficient and detailed data to measure progress on the SDGs.
Complementary capacities across sectors: Collaboration between the public, private and civil society sectors allows for the combination of financial resources, advanced technology and expertise, resulting in better use of data for policy planning and evaluation.
Need for an inclusive regulatory framework and interoperability: Data is often fragmented into silos; to optimize its use, it is essential to develop open data policies, strong regulatory frameworks, and improve the interoperability of data systems through collaboration across sectors.
