•
Tool v. Evaluation
Narrow (single PPD) v. Broad (any PPD)
Measure a PPD v. Assess environment
Tool with nuance v. tool for top level
Deep assessment v. Tool for assessment
Perspective – the long view
• Partners seeking a starting point for
engagement / consultation / coordination
• Appreciate DPs have differing capabilities
• Private sector voice is an outcome of
governance, organization & capacity
• Evidence of existing PS engagement does not
indicate that the environment is conducive to
private sector engagement
Cross cutting considerations –
operational view
• What is an ideal environment for private sector
engagement?
• Are available indicators (e.g. DBI, Worldwide
Governance Indicators) a proxy tool?
• What is required for a sustainable PPD?
• What capacity is required to create sustainable PPD?
• Tool to be responsive to short term need
• Tool to be managed locally
• Tool is one part of a log frame
Views indicates that PPD is complex – the tool can provide
clarity to public private cooperation

Concept
M&E
The Tool should capture the enabling
environment for public private cooperation to
take place
• To understand whether the private sector can
engage in meaningful dialogue we have to
understand the environment that it is operating
in
• The PPD environment comprises of the factors
that enable an outcome oriented dialogue to be
firstly instigated and later institutionalized.

–
–
–
Infrastructure for PPD exists
Governance framework is in place
Advocacy is possible

• Low scores indicate that work is required
–
–
–
–
Provides stakeholders with entry points
Provides DPs with a coordination tool
Raises awareness of the governance framework
Indicates a low level of PS capacity to dialogue
Outcomes
• Tool provides data for assessment of private
sector as a partner
• Tool provides a considered overview of the
conditions for private sector engagement
• Identifies possible areas of support for the
private sector
• Builds awareness of the environmental
conditions that enables private sector
dialogue to happen (refer to slide 2)
Conclusion
• Partners need to review draft
• Need to pilot draft
• Need to provide advisory note for
implementation
• Mainstream the tool for DPs to implement
