| Summary: | Public-private dialogue (PPD) is highly
necessary in fragile and conflict-affected situations (FCS)
to fill the gap resulting from the lack of legitimate
institutions, to help create transparency and trust among
stakeholders, and to identify the need for reforms and
interventions that can improve the business environment and
attract investment. Moreover, creating a platform for PPD
can provide a useful starting point for private sector
development in FCS for projects in key sectors, such as
agribusiness and extractives, where PPD can help build links
between large-scale investments and the local economy. To
support PPD projects in FCS, the World Bank Group has
conducted a survey of 27 task team leaders and other program
staff members with experiences from 30 FCS countries. The
survey was followed by in-depth interviews with 13 key staff
members who have experience from selected countries. By
conducting in-depth interviews, the Bank Group aimed to
capture important experiences and lessons learned, including
a description of challenges, useful tools and methods, and
do s and don ts. The results of PPD are produced by the
reforms it initiates and also the process it implements. In
FCS, the peacebuilding and conflict-mitigating results are
difficult to capture. However, the stakeholders that benefit
from the results highly value them. This study will inform
the design of guidelines intended for PPD project managers
operating in FCS environments. |
