The reason for establishing Public-Private Growth Initiative (PPGI) in April 2018, was to align strategic planning between government and the private sector.

PPGI was also to help in improving economic growth and the way government and businesses work together.

This PPGI meeting serves as an update to the President to ensure his assessment of developments in the economy includes private sector participation and contributions .  It is also a build up to the much anticipated ”state of the nation address” which is drawing closer.

The #PPGI update was presented to the President in the build-up to the February 7 #SONA2019, to ensure that the President’s assessment of developments in the economy include the diverse actions developed by the private sector to contribute to renewal and growth in the country
