SDC has a long track record on partnering with the private sector. This “pioneer time” has allowed it to test approaches with various actors in different contexts. However, a clear overview of what has been done and, above all, what has been achieved in partnerships with the private sector has been missing.
The present evaluation aimed therefore at taking stock of the different partnerships with the private sector SDC has been involved so far in order to support the current re-positioning of SDC towards intensified public-private development partnerships engagement as stipulated in the Bill on Switzerland’s International Cooperation 2013–2016.
Instead of undertaking an in-depths thematic evaluation of PPDP with worldwide experiences, the 20-day study was mandated to Ms. Melina Heinrich (Cambridge) to provide in a short period of time:
- a map of SDC’s types of interventions with regards to their cooperation modalities, structural set-up and intentions
- an assessment of the results achieved through PPDP so far
- an estimate of the efficiency of the modality and of the opportunities and risks.
- recommendations, where necessary, for appropriate institutional re-positioning.
