Building partnerships with whom?
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in agriculture, food security and nutrition are on the rise. OECD countries and African governments invest more and more funds through PPPs to modernize the agricultural sector and food value chains in Africa. A new paper by the Food & Business Knowledge Platform presents a brief and non-exhaustive overview (a ‘quick scan’) of the players who are involved in the PPPs, from companies, civil society, inter-governmental organizations, farmer organizations, to knowledge institutes. The focus of the paper is on multi-stakeholder initiatives, in particular those that are established on an international level to improve food and nutrition security as well as catalyze and facilitate investments in the agricultural sector in Africa.
Examples of initiatives the paper describes are The New Vision for Agriculture, defined by the World Economic Forum partners in 2009, the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition, initiated by the G8 in 2012, and the African Agricultural Growth Corridor Programmes in countries such as Tanzania, Ghana and Mozambique.
