Th e article discusses practical aspects of sustainable development necessary for the introduction of public-private partnership in the work of the Institute in the Russian Federation. Th e author analyses the requirements of the fi nancier for a private partner in terms of sustainable develop-ment mechanisms in diff erent countries of the world. Th e requirements that currently exist in the methodology for calculating the economic effi ciency of public-private partnership projects in the Russian Federation are also analyzed. Th e article describes not only diff erences in effi ciency assessment mechanisms, but also proposes an author’s method of integrating the principles of sustainable development into fi nancial mechanisms for implementing public-private partnershipprojects. Th e author proposes to change the methodology for assessing the risks of public-private partnership projects, introduce into the Russian methodology for assessing the eff ectiveness of projects requirements not only on the need to substantiate the applied calculation mechanisms, but also on the development by a private partner of strategies for the sustainable development of the project, as well as a strategy for the sustainable development of the project region. Th e changes will qualitatively supplement the fi nancial settlement mechanisms that aff ect the implementation of all public-private partnership projects in the Russian Federation, including minimizing thefi nancial risks of the state partner.
