Virtual briefing__ Strategic role of the private sector in ARD

//  Aim of Platform Knowledge Piece 3

Private sector activity is transforming rural areas in the south. To engage effectively with the private sector, policy makers should understand the changes which are taking place. The aim of this Platform Knowledge Piece is to improve the understanding of the role of the private sector in agricultural and rural development and to propose practical and operational measures for donors to engage effectively with the private sector to encourage more developmental outcomes.

"Policy uncertainty really destroys investments and performance in rural areas" - Jonathan Mitchell
