Theories of change: how is social, business and public value
created and combined?
Business models, financial constructions and transition
strategies
Sustainability, scaling, ‘moving on’, replication and
institutionalization
Specific research themes: PM&E, financial inclusion, BoP
service-delivery models, and the chain approach
Partnership models, configurations, processes and success
factors
The ‘Dutch Approach’: profile, lessons and policy directions
Portfolio analysis of FDW and FDOV:
– Systematic scan of all PPPs (half way)
– Four themes:
1. Partnerships building
2. Innovation
3. Business cases / financial structures
4. Moving on: ‘life after PPP’
Partnerships building:
– Emerging partnerships vs partners who
know each other well: starting up issues
– Huge diversity in financial constructions
– Private / NGO / knowledge institutes are
leading; public role: financial
– Operational collaboration between
Northern business and partners in the
field is challenging
Innovation:
– Business models and chain organisation
– Technologies and products
– Delivery models (to BoP)
– Financing inclusive development
– PPP instrument as an innovation –
additionality?
Business models:
– Broad range of private entities
– Very diverse combinations of public and
private funding
– High participation of in-country businesses
– Dutch interests served: promoting
technologies and services, supply, opening
markets
Moving on strategies: is there life after
PPP?
– Not very clear on independency after PPP
funding
– Little attention to graduation of financing
strategies, institutionalization and
replication approaches

Workshop:
• 4 tables:
– Table 1: Partnerships building
– Table 2: Innovation
– Table 3: Business models / financing
– Table 4: Moving on: Life after PPP?
• 3 rounds of each 20’
• Reflection
3 levels of discussion:
– Round 1: Understanding
What is it about?
– Round 2: Deepening
What does this mean?
– Round 3: Recommendations
What do you want PPPLab to do?
3 rounds:
– Each round you move into a new level of
analysis
– Each round you will also move to a new
table with a new theme
– You will therefore have to build upon the
ideas of the previous group at the table.
