The PPCP Governance Stakeholders Engagement Framework
SEDFA's Five PPCP (Public-Private-Community-Partners) Framework is an innovative governance model that structures multi-stakeholder collaboration for sustainable development outcomes.
A Model for Collaborative Development
The PPCP Framework recognizes that sustainable development cannot be achieved by any single actor working in isolation. It requires the coordinated, complementary contributions of all key stakeholders — each bringing unique resources, capacities, and perspectives to the development table.
Developed by SEDFA based on decades of field experience across Nigeria, the PPCP Framework has been applied in governance programs, economic development initiatives, climate projects, and community empowerment programs across the country.
