Who is this website for?

This website is for any stakeholder who is interested in initiating or consolidating dialogue to improve the conditions for investment and enterprise. This includes representatives of the public and private sectors, civil society and donor agencies.

If you are an existing or would-be PPD practitioner, our intention is that you will be able to find here the best and most current knowledge, experience and practical advice you need to anticipate and overcome the challenges you face.

Who is behind this website?

This website is an output of the International Workshop on Public Private Dialogue (1st and 2nd February 2006, the World Bank Paris Conference Centre), organized by a cross-sectoral team from the World Bank, DFID and the OECD Development Centre.

The Paris PPD workshop brought together diverse stakeholders from the public, private and donor communities around the world. Its aim was to share and discuss experiences, identify good practice, and build a foundation of knowledge to support ongoing or new dialogue initiatives.

This website is an extension of the workshop's aim. Inspired by, but not limited to, the products of the workshop, it is enabling the sharing of experiences and lessons learned from around the world about what makes PPD successful.

This website is supported by DFID, World Bank, IFC and OECD Development Centre. It was designed by Andrew Wright, Consultant, and is managed by Benjamin Herzberg of the SME department of the World Bank and the IFC.
