Addis Ababa, 26-27 May 2019: A group of 33 feminist researchers and activists shared their knowledge and experience on corporate accountability, public-private partnerships (PPPs) and women’s human rights in a workshop organized by Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era (DAWN), and co-sponsored by the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA).

The workshop was two days of highly intensive debate through a mix of formal presentations, plenary discussions and groupwork, with a special focus on extractive industries, social services provisioning and infrastructure in Africa. Conceptual, economic and political aspects of PPPs were discussed, concrete experiences from the field were shared and main challenges ahead were posed, including what a feminist framework to PPPs should look like.
