Partnerships have long been presented as transformative and effective mechanisms to overcome challenges linked to the global governance of development. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and SDG 17 call for intensified involvement and engagement of partnerships in sustainable development, formalizing a role specifically for multi‐stakeholder partnerships (MSPs). In this context, transnational MSPs that enmesh public and private to finance development, continue to flourish as a hybrid model of governance. This paper seeks to critically assess the accountability issues linked to channelling development financing through transnational MSPs using an accountability matrix, based on responsibility, answerability and enforceability, applicable to the system‐level development cooperation/aid frameworks as well as to MSPs. The article then evaluates the accountability challenges and shortcomings arising from MSPs as development financing actors resulting in diffused responsibility, limited answerability and weak enforceability. Finally, the article outlines a research agenda and Policy recommendations to improve the accountability of MSPs when they finance development.

跨国多方利益相关者伙伴关系作为筹资发展的工具：在问责制水域中航行

长期以来，伙伴关系一直被认为是一种变革性的有效机制，可以克服与全球发展治理有关的挑战。《 2030年可持续发展议程》和《可持续发展目标17》呼吁在可持续发展中加强伙伴关系的参与和参与，正式确定多利益相关方伙伴关系（MSP）的作用。在这种情况下，融合公共和私营部门为发展筹集资金的跨国MSP继续作为混合治理模式兴旺发展。本文旨在使用责任制，责任制和可执行性，使用责任矩阵，通过系统适用于系统级发展合作/援助框架以及MSP的批评矩阵，来严格评估与通过跨国MSP引导发展融资相关的问责制问题。然后，本文评估了MSP作为发展筹资参与者导致责任分散，责任有限和执行力薄弱而引起的问责制挑战和缺陷。最后，本文概述了研究议程和政策建议，以改善MSP在为发展筹集资金时的责任感。
