Exploring the Functions and Role of Social Impact Measurement in Enhancing the Social Value of Public-Private Partnerships: A Systematic Literature Review ​

Tommaso Tropeano, Enrico Bellazzecca, Irene Bengo

This can in turn enhance trust in the partnerships and support actors to manage the expectations of collaborators and citizens.()
