Dialogue between the public and private sectors, in various forms, has often been integral to attempts to build such momentum. It became increasingly clear that there was a demand from the field for guidance based on international best practice. In 2004-2005, responding to this demand, the World Bank, Department for International Development (DFID) and Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) development centre independently conducted or commissioned reports drawing together lessons learned from field experiences in using public-private dialogue to promote private sector development reform efforts. While numerous case studies had existed, this was the first time comprehensive efforts had been made to synthesize lessons. The papers were: competitiveness partnerships, reforming the business enabling environment, and dialogue public-prive dans les pays en developpement. The development of the three papers in a short period indicated a growing recognition among the international donor community of the importance and potential of public-private dialogue as a tool for promoting private sector development with the ultimate aim of poverty reduction.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCOUNTABILITYACTION PLANSADVERTISINGADVOCACYBENEFICIARIESBUILDING CONSENSUSBUSINESS ASSOCIATIONSBUSINESS CLIMATEBUSINESS DEVELOPMENTBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESSESCAPABILITYCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPACITY-BUILDINGCERTIFICATESCHAMBER OF COMMERCECHAMBERS OF COMMERCECIVIL SERVANTSCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY GROUPSCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCOLLABORATIONCOLLABORATIONSCOMMERCECOMMODITIESCOMMON INTERESTCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNITIESCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY OF PRACTICECOMPETITIVENESSCONSENSUSCONSULTATIONCONSUMERSCORE GROUPCREDIBILITYDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION MAKINGDECISION-MAKERSDECISION-MAKINGDEMOCRACYDEMOCRATIZATIONDISCUSSIONDISCUSSIONSDOCUMENTSECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC POLICIESECONOMIC POLICYECONOMIC RECOVERYENABLING ENVIRONMENTENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENTENTREPRENEURSHIPFACILITATORSFLEXIBILITYFOCUS GROUPSGENERAL PUBLICGOOD PRACTICEGOVERNMENT SERVICEGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSHANDICRAFTIDEAIMPACT ASSESSMENTIMPACT ASSESSMENTSINSTITUTIONINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKSINTEGRATIONINTEREST GROUPINTERFACEINTERNAL PROCESSESINTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICEINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVESTMENT CLIMATELEADINGLEARNINGLEGISLATIVE REFORMLOCAL BUSINESSESLOCAL CAPACITYLOCAL CONDITIONSLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL KNOWLEDGEMARKETINGMATERIALMEDIUM ENTERPRISEMEDIUM ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENTMENTAL MODELSNATIONAL BUDGETNEGOTIATIONSNEGOTIATORSONE-STOP SHOPOPEN ACCESSOPENNESSORGANIZATIONAL DESIGNOUTREACHPARTICIPATORY PROCESSESPARTICIPATORY TOOLSPHYSICAL LOCATIONPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRACTITIONERSPREPARATIONPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE INVESTMENTSPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPRIVATE SECTOR GROUPPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONPRIVATE SECTORSPUBLIC SECTORRECONSTRUCTIONREFLECTIONRESULTRESULTSRETURNS ON INVESTMENTREVENUE COLLECTIONSERVICE DELIVERYSMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISESMESSTAKEHOLDERSTAKEHOLDERSSUPPLIERSSUPPLY CHAINTARGETSTAXTAX COLLECTIONTAX REVENUETAX REVENUESTECHNICAL ADVISORTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL COOPERATIONTECHNICAL ISSUESTHINK TANKSTHINKINGTRADE UNIONTRADE UNIONSTRANSPARENCYUSERVALUE CHAINVARIETYVISIONWISDOMWorld Bank10.1596/12562
