RESOURCES AND BIBLIOGRAPHY
This handbook is an output of the first International Workshop on Public Private Dialogue, held in Paris in February 2006. It has been informed by papers and case studies written for presentation at that workshop, and a number of other seminal documents.
70 articles and resources on the topic of public-private dialogue have already been referenced in “Competitiveness Partnerships: Building and Maintaining Public-Private Dialogue to Improve the Investment Climate”, Herzberg and Wright; The World Bank, Policy Research Working Paper Series, no. 3683, which is available online . This Handbook draws in part from those references. Instead of listing them again, the authors have chosen to list only references readily available online, and indexed by topic and countries on www.publicprivatedialogue.org.
The website is constantly updated with links to the latest relevant materials about PPD, and aims to be a comprehensive collection of documents and links which will be of interest to PPD practitioners. All documents referenced in this bibliography can be accessed through the website. Readers are advised to check these website links for new information which may also be of interest.
For ease of reference, this bibliography is presented in three sections, corresponding to the
organization of links to these source materials on the website. Short descriptions of key papers are provided so that this bibliography can also serve as a recommended reading guide.
Many of these papers also have associated PowerPoint presentations by the authors, also available on the website.

Competitiveness Partnerships: Building and Maintaining Public-Private Dialogue to Improve the Investment Climate
Benjamin Herzberg & Andrew Wright; The World Bank, Policy Research Working Paper Series, no. 3683.
A resource drawn from the review of experiences of 40 countries. The paper is designed to be used as a resource by donors, governments, or businesspeople who are interested in establishing, maintaining, or improving a competitiveness partnership in their country or region. It distills some ideas and techniques from best practice, offering a selection of valuable insights into how practitioners can avoid common pitfalls. The paper has three parts. Part One outlines what competitiveness partnerships can achieve. Part Two presents issues to consider when designing such partnerships, and Part Three identifies challenges that are frequently faced and strategies that have been used to overcome them.
Reforming the Business Enabling Environment: Mechanisms and Processes for Private-Public Sector Dialogue
Bannock Consulting Ltd, for DFID
DFID Policy Division’s Investment, Competition and Enabling Environment (ICEE) team commissioned Bannock Consulting Ltd to examine how public-private sector dialogue (PPD) can support investment climate improvement. The consultants focused on DFID’s and the European
Union’s field experiences with PPD processes and mechanisms in their private sector development
programs. The paper looks at dialogues spanning many continents, political and social systems,
ranging from highly formal and structured to informal and ad hoc. It identifies success factors and lessons learned, and includes a helpful list of dos and don’ts for donors.

Benjamin Crosby, USAID
A philosophical and practical overview of the value and limitations of participation in formulating public policy.

Promoting Competitiveness in Practice: An Assessment of Cluster-Based Approaches
Mitchell Group, for USAID
Looks at public-private dialogue from the angle of working with industry clusters rather than
investment climate reforms which affect a country’s whole economy. Looks in depth at USAID
experiences in Mexico and Mongolia and also draws on other country experiences to distil lessons for promoting competitiveness through clusters.
Consultation with stakeholders in the shaping of national and regional policies affecting small business
European Commission Enterprise and Industry Directorate General
A valuable report on how policy makers in European countries consult with small businesses. It finds that since small enterprises constitute approximately 99% of businesses in all European economies, it is essential that the policy makers carefully listen to their opinions, involve them in the decision making process at an early stage and take their specific situation and their interests into account when developing new legislation and policies. Along with providing several interesting case studies, the report includes twelve recommendations addressed to national and regional governments on how to establish a more efficient dialogue with stakeholders and improve the consultation procedures.
