Case studies

Every public-private dialogue is different. But many face similar problems. This page presents a collection of case studies about PPD, with the aim of enabling practitioners to learn from others' experiences.

Some of these case studies were written for the workshop held in Paris in 2006. Others have been selected from other sources. Please let us know about other case studies that we should consider for inclusion on this page.
