“…An evaluation of the impacts of the PPP may also be pertinent to define relevant indicators to monitor the progress of the initiative and motivate the partners involved, to advocate for additional resources from investors, or to ensure trust. This can be done for example with impact pathway methodology, using the theory of change [ 40 , 41 ].…”

An evaluation tool to strengthen the collaborative process of the public-private partnership in the veterinary domain

et al. 2021

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the veterinary domain are widely implemented worldwide and can help to strengthen the capacities of Veterinary Services. Few analyses have been made of these initiatives. This study is aimed at developing an evaluation tool based on participatory approaches and focusing on the quality of PPP processes in the veterinary domain. The tool was divided into ten sections relevant to PPP process organisation and activities. The 44 evaluation criteria and six quality attributes (operationality, relevance, acceptability, inclusiveness, adaptability, and stability) were identified based on literature review and case-study application. The tool was adjusted during four regional PPP training workshops bringing together stakeholders from both public and private sectors. Finally, the tool was validated through an experts’ elicitation process and applied in the field in Paraguay. The tool was developed in a non-normative perspective to help the partners adapt the PPP to their specific context, to maximize the opportunities and minimize the risks of such collaborations, and to formulate adapted recommendations to strengthen and improve the PPP collaborative process and thus the outcomes. In an ex-ante perspective, this tool would also help public and private actors to engage and develop a PPP process following the best possible practices. The aim of this tool is to help decision making in terms of PPP development and implementation in the veterinary domain to ensure the added value and relevance of such a collaborative approach in different countries worldwide.

“…The Impress method suggests the separation of actors into three categories (major actors, influential actors, and impacted actors) according to the role they play in the innovation process (Barret et al, 2018). This idea is used and adapted to URBAL, which proposes the following four categories:…”

Sustainable Food System Assessment

20 an implicit positive causal relationship between urban innovations and sustainability, most of these relationships remain undocumented and unclear. Among them, for example, is the idea that local food trade is inherently environmentally friendly (Katz, 2010) or socially just. Yet many works show the complexity and relative truth of this assertion (Born & Purcell, 2006; Desrochers & Shimizu, 2008). Some of these innovations may also have negative impacts on social issues. Slocum et al. (2016) pointed out how, in spite of the will to create and inhabit more equitable food spaces, the food movement often fails to lead to food justice, instead reinforcing existing race, class, and gender inequalities (Clancy, 1994; Freidberg, 2003). In a nutshell, urban food innovations do not necessarily address sustainability issues. Additionally, existing initiatives that focus on indicators, such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals, privilege technocratic approaches and data, while case-study analyses can be limiting in terms of their transferability (see Chapters 1 & 12, this volume). Within this context, understanding how to move towards increasingly sustainable city region food systems is a challenge. The research programme URBAL (Urban-driven Innovations for Sustainable Food Systems) (2018-2020), funded by Agropolis Fondation (France), Fondation Daniel & Nina Carasso (France/ Spain), and Fundazione Cariplo (Italy), and coordinated by CIRAD (France) and the Laurier Center for Sustainable Food Systems at Wilfrid Laurier University (Canada), seeks to build and test a participatory methodology to identify and map the impact pathways of urban-driven innovations on all the dimensions of food systems sustainability. By testing this methodology through various case studies internationally-Urban Food Innovation Labs (UFILs), including sites in the Global South and North-this project aims to provide decision makers with information on how innovations can contribute to, or work against, building more sustainable food systems, thus assisting them to determine which actions should or should not be taken (see Chapters 3 & 9, this volume). This chapter presents the general framework for the URBAL project as well as the main interwoven considerations and approaches that are the backbone of the methodology. Please note that this is an ongoing project and that it has evolved since the chapter has been written. We will point out some changes in the methodology as the chapter proceeds. How to assess the impact of urban-driven innovations on the sustainability of food systems? The main objective of the URBAL project is to provide urban policymakers, urban innovators, and funders with a low-cost, easy-to-implement, and context-adaptable methodology that can be used as a robust tool to make the impact pathways of innovations on all the dimensions of the sustainability of food systems more explicit. Its purpose is not to provide evaluation per

“…There is a need to extend this work and we suggest that doing so would require combining two types of theories (Leeuw et al 2015). Participatory methods are generally encouraged to build a causal chain because they enable implementing agents to tailor the design to the specificities of local conditions (Barret et al 2018;).…”
