This Project Brief summarises the findings of an ODI and FAO joint project on public–private partnership models to promote private investment in agricultural infrastructure. In 2007, FAO (UN Food and Agriculture Organization) commissioned ODI to assist in analysing a range of PPP models and model-variants that promote market-oriented agricultural development. The models are informed by case studies of market-orientated infrastructure in the following categories: (i) farm to market roads; (ii) water for irrigation; (iii) wholesale markets and trading centres; (iv) agro-processing facilities; and (v) information and communications technology.
