What the paper says

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) in Sub-Saharan Africa face critical challenges in advancing low carbon development and securing domestic financing. This study employs institutional theory and the capability approach to analyse how PPP frameworks can be adapted to address climate change mitigation and the challenges of investment scarcity in the post-COVID-19 era. Through a systematic review of existing literature, the research highlights the shortcomings of conventional PPP models, which often fail due to disproportionate risk distribution, regulatory deficiencies, and inadequate consideration of environmental sustainability. To address these issues, the study introduces the Sustainable Domestic Resource Mobilisation (SDRM-PPP) model, designed to prioritise carbon footprint reduction, domestic resource mobilisation, and the achievement of sustainable development goals. Key policy recommendations include the establishment of dedicated climate finance units within PPP regulatory bodies, the standardisation of carbon accounting practices, and the development of financing instruments denominated in local currency. This study offers valuable insights into strategies for fostering sustainable infrastructure development in Sub-Saharan Africa.
