PPD – Public-Private Sector Dialogue Conferences   The PPD is an event for building relationships. It is not an event where specific advocacy issues are discussed. The PPD changes the relationship between public and private sectors from one of mistrust to one of respect. Specific advocacy issues are dealt with through follow-on advocacy initiatives.
