legally binding agreements that set forth the expected contributions of each party,
expected results, a monitoring and evaluation plan, and mechanisms for accountability
and arbitration. Accordingly, these kinds of partnership are appropriate only in situations

social acceptance of private sector involvement in service delivery.
Box 4.9. A public-private partnership in Kenya
UNDP Kenya and UNDP’s Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery are supporting a project to
create alternative livelihoods for youth engaged in violence in Kenya. The project is developing a
public-private partnership to strengthen a value chain for agricultural products. The project’s Steering
Committee consists of 20 Members of Parliament from crisis-affected communities. The Steering
Committee members have facilitated the formation of Constituency Development Associations.
The project is (a) mobilizing youth to form producer groups, (b) providing technical assistance with
value chain analysis of selected agricultural products, (c) guiding youth to focus the activities of their
producer groups within the value chain, and (d) providing them with technical and entrepreneurial
training. The private sector is expected to participate by providing processing facilities and marketing
outlets. The Constituency Development Associations (public-sector partners) and the youth
producer-groups (private-sector partners) will co-own the processing facilities. In memoranda of
understanding, participating young people have agreed to carry out project activities with adherence
to minimum standards, and communities and public veterinary departments have committed
to providing related services.
