| Abstract | This study explores the pivotal role of local governments in facilitating Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Pakistan. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, integrating systematic literature review, case studies, and key informant interviews to gather comprehensive insights. Findings reveal that despite the growing importance of local governments as intermediaries in PPPs, challenges such as insufficient funding, fragmented governance, and low private sector involvement hinder SDG achievement. The study identifies key success factors for effective PPP implementation, including strong governance frameworks, clear regulatory structures, and enhanced coordination among government tiers. Additionally, it highlights the need for financial innovations, such as green bonds, to mobilize private investment in SDG-aligned projects. The study concludes with actionable recommendations to improve local governance structures, foster private sector engagement, and strengthen PPP frameworks to achieve SDGs more effectively in Pakistan. |
