International-Public-Private Partnership to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals in the Old Industrial Regions of Ukraine

The development of public-private partnerships is identified as a key mechanism for attracting investment to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, including Objective 9 “Sustainable Infrastructure, Promoting Comprehensive and Sustainable Industrialization and Innovation” and Objective 17 “Strengthening the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development and Enhancing It”. It is proposed to introduce into scientific circulation the concept of international-public-private partnership, taking into account the interests and funds of international organizations and international donors. The mutual coherence of the interests of the state and the private sector in the partnership is analyzed. Different variations of the interaction of institutional intermediaries through the prism of specific actors (state, business, civil society and international organization) are considered. The institutional support of international-public-private partnership to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals of the old industrial regions is analyzed. It is determined that in order to develop and support international-public-private partnership projects to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in the old industrial regions it is necessary to create a single system for implementation and monitoring of international-public-private partnership projects taking into account all established institutions. The system of institutions for the development of international-public-private partnerships includes financial and non-financial institutions. It is proposed to establish the Center for International-Public-Private Partnership as an independent expert body, the purpose of which is to prepare, organize and support international-public-private partnership projects, as well as to provide support to public administration and business.
