Public-Private Collaboration in Environmental Administration: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

This research explores collaboration between government and the private sector in environmental administration, focusing on the challenges and opportunities that arise from such cooperation. This collaboration is important given the complexity of environmental problems that require synergy from various parties to achieve sustainable solutions. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach in several regions in Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with policy makers, industry players, and non-governmental organizations, as well as analysis of relevant documents. The purpose of this study was to identify key factors that influence the effectiveness of collaboration, as well as develop recommendations to improve cooperation between the government and the private sector in environmental management. The results show that while there are a number of challenges such as different priorities, lack of coordination, and limited resources, this collaboration also offers great opportunities, including improved technological capacity, funding, and innovation in environmental management practices. The research recommends increased dialogue between the public and private sectors, the development of a clear framework, and increased transparency and accountability in the implementation of environmental programs.
