The document discusses the establishment and processes of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in veterinary services within various regions of Ethiopia, emphasizing different types of PPPs: transactional, collaborative, and transformative. It outlines the necessary steps for setting up PPPs, including identifying gaps in veterinary services, stakeholder involvement, and resource allocation. The document also provides examples of regional PPP models in Oromia and Amhara, highlighting partnerships between public and private veterinary service providers to improve animal health services.

3. Process

4. PPPs
• Transactional:
• Government procurement of a specific AH/sanitary service from
private vet service providers, initiated and funded by public sector
• Collaborative:
• Joint commitment between public sector and end-beneficiaries (p.e.
producer association) to delivery mutually agreed policies/outcomes
• Transformative:
• Establishment of a sustainable capability to deliver otherwise
unattainable major programmes, often initiated by private sector

7. Steps for setting up PPPs (OIE steps) -
Group work
Which gaps can be addressed through a PPP
• Review the vet service gaps and select those for which
you think a PPP model is appropriate (you can make
notes on the sheet with the gap, consult OIE handbook
for examples)
• To which PPP typology would each PPP fit?
Transactional, collaborative, transformative

8. What are the expected benefits of each of
the selected PPP?
Who needs to be involved (in each)?
What are the roles of the key partners
involve?
What resources are needed?
