Description This study formally examines the intricacies of public-private partnerships at ICRISAT in order to
glean from experiences how best to effectively and efficiently develop strategic partnerships that
work and to build a learning module on successful partnership management for ICRISAT staff
and partners.
Public-private partnerships are examined in the light of institutional behavior and lessons learned,
which facilitate/impede the exchange of potential pro-poor knowledge and technology. The focus
is on three key issues: (1) the rationale for forging partnerships; (2) the benefits accrued; and
(3) lessons learned from ongoing partnerships to harness more successful strategic ties in the
future.
Collaborations between scientists of the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid
Tropics (ICRISAT) were examined, especially working linkages between and among researchers
based in international, regional and national organizations spread across Asia and Sub-Saharan
Africa. Data and information were obtained through web- and email-based surveys across all the
regional locations of ICRISAT. The resulting analysis characterizes public-private partnerships at
ICRISAT and delves into factors that contribute to their success or failure.
These findings are critical to developing a learning module on the best practices in undertaking
strategic partnerships at ICRISAT.
