Abstract: Covid-19, a global pandemic that has affected the world from 2020 to 2022 has had many impacts and far-reaching implications. As we look back at the progression of the pandemic and examine its impacts, one thing that is apparent is that there have been many inefficiencies in the numerous methods used to handle the pandemic. This paper suggests that better coordination and collaboration between public and private sectors are key enablers in contending with the pandemic and proffers public-private partnerships as a vehicle to enable such collaborations. These public-private partnerships are facilitated by technology, which plays an integral role in connecting all stakeholders, sharing and disseminating information, and supporting communication. This was done by performing a scoping review to answer the research questions: "What are the characteristics of value-adding public-private partnerships (PPP)?" and "What is the critical role of IS/IT in supporting these PPP characteristics?"
