Corporate capture of development: Public-private partnerships and global resistance
03:00PM-05:00PM
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are among the most widespread forms of corporate capture of global development. Despite critical concerns about their detrimental impact on transparency, accountability and human rights, PPPs are one of IFIs’ favourite policy prescriptions to the global south. PPPs significantly erode governments’ policy space and reproduce systems of exclusion that affect women, people who live in poverty, indigenous and other racialised peoples, among others. This panel showcases feminist research for advocacy carried out by DAWN and partners centring cases on health and infrastructure PPPs in Ghana, Mexico, and India and highlights global and local forms of resistance.
