Handshake, International Finance Corporation's (IFC's) quarterly journal on public-private partnerships (PPPs), Issue # 14, July 2014. This issue focuses on natural resource PPPs that are making a difference. It profiles a hybrid public-private agency that has standardized water service to residents while restoring the coast as well as an environmental management initiative around Africa’s Lake Victoria with the potential to reduce the pollution and resource footprint of industrial activities. Original articles from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and The Rockefeller Foundation outline how Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) brings PPP's benefits directly to farmers, fishers and those who manage forests.
