Abstract
Public-Private Partnership (‘PPP’) road infrastructure projects concern major investments in the public domain and go along with considerable investments, long-term commitments and consequences. Since sustainable development is a main topic of government policy in Aruba, it makes sense to investigate to which extent the regulatory frameworks of the Green Corridor PPP project and the Watty Vos Boulevard PPP project support sustainable development as central theme of Aruba’s government policy. To answer this question, a qualitative research was performed in combination with literature review. Research findings showed that there are several factors that promote or hinder the inclusion of the general government policy principles regarding sustainable development into the regulatory framework. Nevertheless, in general, the legislation and regulation for the realization of PPP road infrastructure projects reflect the purpose of sustainable development. However, there is no clear general government policy or
ministerial policy in place that address sustainable development at the time parliament approves the Green Corridor project (2011) and the WVB project (2013). It is recommended to work out a general government policy which has broad support among stakeholders for which the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development offers a useful framework. Another recommendation is to make policy coherence a priority. For the academic community, it is recommended to do further studies on sustainable development, PPPs’ and SIDS.
