Skills Training - Effectiveness of the Public-Private Development Partnerships (PPDP)

The Public-Private Development Programme (PPDP) stands out as a distinctive model aiming to foster inclusive growth, alleviate poverty, and enhance living standards through collaborations between public and private sectors. Since 2018, the PPDP initiative has been diligently scrutinized in Narok and Nakuru Counties to discern its pivotal success factors and impact routes. The overarching objective is to facilitate its scalability and replication not only across Kenya but also in other regions.

This short film forms a segment of a comprehensive study conducted by researchers affiliated with the Strathmore University Climate Change Leadership Program. The study endeavors to furnish empirical insights into the dynamics and repercussions of the PPDP model concerning poverty alleviation, thus enriching both theoretical frameworks and public policy discourse.

Over several months, the research team has been immersed in a thorough examination of the methodologies deployed by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and ForumCiv in implementing the Public-Private Development Partnerships (PPDP) model. The focal point lies in assessing its efficacy in mitigating poverty within targeted Kenyan locales and elucidating how the adoption of a Human Rights-Based Approach contributes to fostering inclusive growth. The scrutiny extends to the ongoing endeavors of ForumCiv, which fosters democratic engagement to empower local communities in asserting their rights and steering their destinies, thereby fostering the economic empowerment imperative for nurturing equitable and sustainable societies.

This particular episode zooms in on the endeavor to provide training and entrepreneurship skills in the community utilizing the PPDP framework.
