TUESDAY 16 PROJECT LABS WORLD FOOD DAY | PROJECT LABS 12:30 – 13:30 Scaling-Up Sustainable Trade Through European Project Lab 2 Private-Public Collaboration Alfred Njagi, General Manager Operations, Kenyan Tea Development Authority – KTDA Nathalie Olijslager, Head of International Markets, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Netherlands Joost Oorthuizen, Executive Director, The Sustainable Trade Initiative There is a clear urgency for a global systemic shift towards inclusive and sustainable commodity markets. Food security and resource scarcity are two of the key drivers of this change. Collaboration between public and private entities has shown initial promise as a model for sustainable development and as a logical successor to traditional development aid. During this session participants will learn how this form of ‘pre-competitive’ public-private cooperation has already started to deliver measurable results within some commodity sectors. These programmes powered by IDH – The Sustainable Trade Initiative – and funded by the Netherlands Government, involved frontrunner companies, civil society, and governments in producing countries. This session will also explore possible cooperation across European aid agencies in the area of PPPs. Organised by The Sustainable Trade Initiative – IDH 44 | EDD 2012 | AGENDA | TUESDAY 16
