12:18- What are some of the biggest challenges that are being faced by PPD and PPDR?
- The biggest challenge is governments and partners approach PPD at a miso level, not the strategic level the private sector does.
- This is an issue of integrating the private sector into high-level government processes – in Cambodia, there are cabinet-level meetings with the Prime Minister.
- The big challenge in emerging markets is elevating the concept of PPDR to a much higher strategic level in terms of a strategic narrative on economic growth.
22:18- Can you share a lesson that you have learned that has profoundly impacted your own approach to economic development?
- I believe the key in PPR is to listen directly to stakeholders who are passionate about their countries and deeply involved in shaping their future.
- Listening to stakeholders is crucial as they possess invaluable knowledge about the practicalities of implementing initiatives in the country.
- It’s important not to assume that having expertise and experience means having all the answers.
