Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have gained a renewed momentum
in recent years, and have come to be viewed by governments and
funders alike as a silver bullet for infrastructure development and
public service provision. Critiques of the corporate capture of
development are well established, yet until now the urgent question
of the impacts of PPPs on women's human rights around the world has
remained under-explored. This open access book aims to fill the
gap, providing new insights from a set of case studies from across
the Global South. Bringing an intersectional feminist approach to
PPPs, these cases enable analysis that can inform advocacy and
activism, whilst challenging dominant narratives and resisting the
negative impacts of PPPs on women and historically marginalized
communities' human rights. Widely advocating for stronger
regulatory frameworks and institutions, and indicating how changes
could be implemented, the examples analysed cover a range of
sectors including health, energy, and infrastructure from countries
including Ethiopia, Peru, India and Fiji. The eBook editions of
this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence
on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by Development
Alternatives with Women for a New Era (DAWN).
