Public private partnerships (PPPs) have the potential to bring much-needed financial, technical, and managerial resources to the irrigation sector in Africa south of the Sahara and are explicitly identified in the food security and irrigation strategies of Tanzania and Ghana. However, previous experience with PPPs suggests that governments and communities need significant capacity to effectively negotiate, monitor, and implement PPP irrigation projects to achieve environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable outcomes.
This project is implemented under the CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE).
