At a recent meeting at ODI, Platform Knowledge Piece authors Lídia Cabral, Jonathan Mitchell and Steve Wiggins wrapped up the PKP series. In three short interviews they gave their concluding remarks on improving aid for ARD.
Steve Wiggins addresses the importance of country ownership and the challenge to measure results,
and suggests two ways to interpret private sector development.
Lídia Cabral addresses the challenges of clearly defining ARD,
of measuring aid for results and of bringing the private sector and non-traditional donors into policy debates
Jonathan Mitchell outlines the vibrant role of the private sector in rural areas,
its contribution to ARD and the resulting challenges for donors
