Development Centre Studies Public-Private Dialogue in Developing Countries: Opportunities and Risks

Building a tradition of dialogue between government and business enables public policy to take account of private sector needs, growth and development, as well as helping firms to foster a positive business climate. This publication analyses the benefits and disadvantages of public-private dialogue (PPD) in developing countries, bearing in mind the problems it can present to fragile states and relatively recent democracies. The type of state involved, the level of organisation within the national private sector and the kind of support offered by donors all have an influence on the potential and real success of PPD.Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Staff is the author of 'Development Centre Studies Public-Private Dialogue in Developing Countries: Opportunities and Risks', published 2007 under ISBN 9789264028838 and ISBN 9264028838.
