Following four successful workshops on African agriculture organised by Mazungumzo, this conference will unpack the crucial importance of Public - Private Partnerships (PPP) in developing countries. PPPs provide a framework through which both governments and private industry can seek to achieve sustainable economic development as well as secure positive social change. PPPs critically channel the technical expertise of Government while harnessing the resources and on-the-ground experience of private industry.
