A network of academics, policy makers, development practitioners & other stakeholders researching the role of Public Private Partnerships in development.

Panel at @GESForum on PPPs. Latest Eurodad research shows PPPs cost more in long term, pass risks to public sector, lack transparency and accountability, and depend on unrealistic regulation. All should use new #AbidjanPrinciples as key ref and invest more in public education!
