Abstract

Partnership is an important carrier to achieve goals of sustainable development. On the basis of the ideas of inclusive growth and collaborative governance, and the model of inclusive business and inclusive partnership, using the research method of case analysis, this paper answers the applicability of inclusive public–private partnership (PPP) to sustainability. Because inclusive PPPs focus on the long-term poverty-alleviation mechanism, it is more conducive to reach sustainable goals. The poverty alleviation case of Evergrande Group in Dafang county of Guizhou province further verifies the advantages of inclusive PPP to sustainability. Additionally, if we integrate the advantages of inclusive and traditional PPP, we can make a partnership more efficient.
