Session Overview

This dialogue will explore the evolution of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in development finance, in particular the trends emerging from PPPs in the agrifood system since the UN Food Systems Summit 2021. The session will consider the role of PPPs within the context of today’s development and agrifood systems finance landscape and discuss their future potential and application as a mechanism for accelerating finance and investment in system-wide transformation to deliver the SDGs, including both opportunities as well as persistent and new challenges. The session will also discuss how PPPs can be effectively scaled up and out to maximize resource use efficiency, share risk, and deliver greater impact by delivering multiple objectives and co-benefits at the same time, achieving economic and financial viability, social inclusivity as well as environmentally sustainability.
