Abstract

One of the most important development concerns of the twenty-first century is the worldwide task of guaranteeing universal access to clean water and sanitation, which is embodied in the Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) of the UN. The demand on current infrastructure is further increased by population growth, urbanization, and climate change, and billions of people still lack access to appropriately managed water and sanitation services. A comprehensive strategy that incorporates institutional reform, financial sustainability, and technological innovation is needed to achieve SDG 6. In this regard, Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have become a viable option for increasing efficiency, guaranteeing accountability, and mobilizing resources in water management. PPPs are examined in this article as a viable business strategy for accomplishing SDG 6. It looks into how PPPs might help provide water and sanitation services by combining the advantages of both industries: the capital, technology, and managerial effectiveness of the private sector with the social responsibility and regulatory power of the public sector.
