Private Sector Partnerships in Small Island Developing States

With deep dives into case studies in the Caribbean, Pacific and AIS (Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean and South China Sea), expert interviews and a cross-sectoral survey, this report explores the private sector’s role in the sustainable blue economy of SIDS. It touches on previous guides about measuring, managing and sustaining partnerships, and what a truly sustainable blue economy means. The report then uses the case studies to articulate 10 Sustainable Partnership Goals (SPGs) for building better collaboration with the private sector:

1. Find the Funding
2. Change Minds
3. Build the Framework
4. Connect
5. Communicate
6. Get Market Intelligence
7. Assess & Mitigate Risk
8. Get Stakeholder Buy-In
9. Access & Build Local Capacity
10. Produce & Access Reliable Data
