Abstract: This research examines the historical development of Yemen’s public and private sectors and their transition towards public-private partnerships (PPPs) as a strategy for sustainable development. Yemen’s private sector has evolved from a traditional, limited economy into a market-driven system, playing a key role in job creation and economic growth. However, it continues to face significant challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, import competition, and political instability. Strengthening the private sector through investment-friendly policies and structural reforms is crucial for economic resilience. PPPs provide Yemen with an opportunity to address infrastructure deficits, enhance service delivery, and stimulate economic growth. Moving forward, establishing effective legal frameworks, promoting transparency, and fostering cooperation between the public and private sectors will be essential to building a more inclusive and sustainable economy.
