Purpose of the event is to help key stakeholders understand the range of PPP possibilities, share best PPP practices from around the world and develop innovative tripartite partnerships between government, CSOs and the private for profit sector. The congress will bring together eminent scholars, practitioners, business and civil society leaders, policymakers, senior government officials and representatives of donor agencies from Pakistan and abroad. In this two-day event, the delegates will explore the various myths and realities of PPP, learn from successful and unsuccessful PPP experiences, and devise practical approaches for expanding PPP to accelerate the development of human capital for reducing poverty. It is hoped that the Congress will have a far reaching impact on promoting PPPs through improved understanding and increased willingness of the key stakeholders to effectively work together.
