The "Manual for Trainers on Public-Private Dialogue for Good Governance" was produced by the World Bank Institute / Governance Global Practice following a series of country engagements involving delivery of a 3-day, field based, and capacity-building workshops on private sector engagement for good governance and PPD, for local stakeholders. The manual provides a set of training materials which can be used by PPD experts to build capacity among PPD stakeholders on secretariat effectiveness and PPD management, advocacy and communications, monitoring and evaluation and sector specific initiatives. The content also includes the findings of the IFC Investment Climate Department, which has been sponsoring PPDs on the ground for several years, and which has put forward over time knowledge products that have been key to advance the knowledge in the PPD field.

The material put forward is for PPD Trainers, to help build the capacity of PPD coordination units to perform the following:

1) identify the collaborative governance gaps,
2) secure political will for reform,
3) set up a multi-stakeholder dialogue process around the issues at stake, and
4) ensure supportive buy-in and monitoring from constituents at large.

It is a complement of the PPD handbook, and both documents can as a guide or source document providing theoretical and practical knowledge on how to develop, implement and sustain public-private dialogues. Please note that it is intended as an indicative guide, and not a rigid methodology. When offering PPD training, a PPD trainer needs to be sure to be guided by her or his experience, the needs of the participants, and own common sense. Our guide suggests a structure and content for a 3-day training course, including trainer instructions, exercises, tools and background readings to successfully lead this workshop.

The sessions are designed to be interactive and enjoyable. They provide a mix of presentations, discussions, case studies, role play and exercises. For many activities, participants may need to work in small groups. This also allows all participants to participate more fully. The effectiveness of the training depends on participants actively contributing to the program based on their own background and experience. Facilitators are encouraged to add case studies and examples from their own experience.
