There is a clear urgency for a global systemic shift towards inclusive and<br />
sustainable commodity markets. Food security and resource scarcity are two<br />
of the key drivers of this change. Collaboration between public and private<br />
entities has shown initial promise as a model for sustainable development and<br />
as a logical successor to traditional development aid. During this session<br />
participants will learn how this form of ‘pre-competitive’ public-private<br />
cooperation has already started to deliver measurable results within some<br />
commodity sectors. These programmes powered by IDH – The Sustainable<br />
Trade Initiative – and funded by the Netherlands Government, involved frontrunner<br />
companies, civil society, and governments in producing countries. This<br />
session will also explore possible cooperation across European aid agencies<br />
in the area of PPPs.<br />
Organised by The Sustainable Trade Initiative – IDH<br />
