This section defines and explains what Public-Private Dialogue is – “PPDs are structured mechanisms, anchored at the highest practical level, coordinated by a light secretariat, and aimed at facilitating the discovery process by involving a balanced range of public and private sector actors in identifying, filtering, accelerating, implementing, and measuring actions and reforms that tend to improve issues of matter to the stakeholders”.

The fragility examples of Section 1.1 explain why the topic of public private dialogue, promoting economic development and good governance through public-private dialogue is important.
