Given the importance of public-private partnerships in the context of sustainable fish farming, are there any training programs planned for this in Europe or China?

Does the public-private partnership in question involve technologies, techniques, and the dissemination of production equipment?

Answer: 1) There are not training programs planned in Europe or China as part of this project. FFRC does run modules in which PPPs will be addressed. You can reach out to FFRC staff for further details.

2) PPPs can involved technologies, and techniques dissemination. It depends on what the objective is of the established PPP; what do the different partner aim for and what is beneficial to the sector/food system.

Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) encounter several challenges and limitations. Complex agreements can lead to delays and increased costs, while profit-driven motivations may sometimes prioritize efficiency over broader public benefits. These arrangements can also involve significant risks, such as unforeseen liabilities or public dissatisfaction if outcomes fall short of expectations. Transparency may be limited, reducing accountability and trust. Additionally, the long-term commitments often associated with these agreements can limit flexibility, making it difficult to adapt to evolving circumstances or priorities. Therefore, clarity and good partnerships are important

The government may decide to provide direct support for the project for example through subsidies/grants, equity investment and/or debt. These mechanisms are particularly useful where the project does not in its own merit achieve bankability, financial viability or is otherwise subject to specific risks that the private investors or lenders are not well placed to manage.

Thank you for the presentation. I would like to check on your historic participation/engagement on partnership, do you sometimes involve communities where a project is implemented as part of the Public and Private involvement, and have PPCP?

Answer: Yes communities are an essential parts (also often groups as Civil Society Organisation partner). The presented case in Uganda for example involved women organisations. Civil society organizations (CSOs) play a critical role in Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) by fostering inclusivity, accountability, and sustainability. They act as advocates for community interests, ensuring that projects align with societal needs and promote equitable outcomes. CSOs can provide valuable insights during planning and implementation, helping to identify potential social and environmental impacts. They also enhance transparency by monitoring PPP activities, encouraging responsible practices, and holding partners accountable. However, whereas we presented a case in which CSO was involved this indeed often lacking and definitely deserves more attention. Therefore, it is definitely part of our recommendation to involve CSO
