This paper presents the findings of a study that appraises and compares different models of public-private partnership (PPP) in rural infrastructure development. The study was commissioned by the Rural Infrastructure and Agro-Industries (AGS) Division of FAO, under its normative programme on Rural Infrastructure Development. It contributes to the identification of public-private models for different categories of market-oriented infrastructure for agricultural development. It specifically looks at five types of infrastructure categories: farm to market roads; water for irrigation; wholesale markets and trading centres; agroprocessing facilities; and information and
communications technology.
