Impact assessment of the public-private dialogue initiatives in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Vietnam
Kakwani, Nanak | Subbarao, Kalanidhi
The objective of this impact assessment study is to evaluate and report on the impact of the work of the Private Sector Forums. The evaluation and impact assessment content of this report comprises three parts. Each may be viewed as a different method of evaluation, independent of the others. However, this report also seeks to present a logic running through parts one to three. Part one examines the organization and processes of the Public Private Dialogue (PPD) in each country, in particular testing each for its alignment with the 12 points of the charter on PPD. Given the organization and processes that have evolved and are described in the first Part, Part two examines the impact of the PPD on the process of achieving reforms relevant to private sector development. This Part considers the steps that are actually or conceptually required to identify, advocate for, agree, implement and maintain a reform. It then assesses the degree to which the organization and process of PPD enables the private sector and other stakeholders to complete each of these steps. Part three assesses the results of the PPD initiatives. Given the organization and processes of each PPD and the impact each of these is able to have on the private sector's ability to achieve reforms, what actual benefits has each PPD been able to bring to the private sector in terms of regulatory and economic impact? The analysis in this section is necessarily partial in that a complete calculation of the full cost-benefit of any given reform, taking into account all impacted stakeholders, is beyond the scope and resources of this impact assessment project. The report concludes with a section (Part four) reviewing the lessons learned from the first three parts of the study, including recommendations for each of the PPDs and for donor involvement in PPD more generally. The section also provides some feedback and proposals on the evaluation methodology that has been piloted through this study.
