The past 15 years witnessed a proliferation of public-private partnerships (PPPs) between the private sector and international development organizations. In a retrospective assessment, this report examines the main concerns over the potential of PPPs to bring about inclusive development in three export-oriented agricultural sectors: the cocoa sector in Indonesia, the horticultural sector in Kenya, and the coffee sector in Rwanda. This research examines what historical PPPs can teach us about how to use this approach to actually benefit the poor. Devex Impact published an article, “Can global value chain PPPs reach the poor? Latest lessons learned” on February 27, 2015, on the report. A panel presented research findings on January 29, 2015 at the USAID Microlinks Seminar Series #18 in Washington, DC (presentation and video linked below). Ajmal also presented on June 17, 2015 for the 37th Annual Meeting of the Donor Committee for Enterprise Development (view on SlideShare). It focused on the key trends that lead to success in public-private partnerships for development from the three cases.
