PPP and Gender Mainstreaming in Agriculture: Lessons from Field Studies by K. Ponnusamy, Manju Dutta Das, Binoo P. Bonny and Sabita Mishra, Agricultural Economics Research Review , Vol. 27 (Conference Number) 2014 pp 147-155.
This study undertaken by the Directorate of Research on Women in Agriculture (DRWA), Bhubaneswar, India during 2009 to 2013 has assessed the role of selected public-private partnership (PPP) models in agriculture for their role in women empowerment and has analyzed their strengths and weaknesses.
Based on the experiences gained in three PPP models, the study has concluded that PPPs have contributed to gender mainstreaming, food security, additional income and employment generation, poverty reduction, economic growth and agricultural production which have direct implications at the local level. The study suggests that partnerships between private sector and public institutions should be based on transparency ensured through a written memorandum of understanding and that a favourable policy framework is important for creating coalitions that aim at local development, particularly women empowerment.
