Trends Research and Advisory discussed ways to enhance cooperation between public and private sectors (FAPPP) in various fields of research and development with the “Federation of Arab States for Better Partnerships between the Public and private Sectors.”
The meeting was attended by Dr. Ahmed El Kalawy, President of the Arab Federation for Public-Private Partnerships, and his deputy Dr. Amr Wael, in the presence of Dr. Mohammed Abdullah Al-Ali, CEO of Trends. A number of experts and professionals attended the audience.
The discussion focused on the challenges and opportunities of public-private partnership in the field of sustainable development. The best international practices in the field were discussed.

Dr. Ahmed El Kalawy delivered a presentation on the nature of the Federation’s work, the challenges and opportunities of public-private partnership in the field of sustainable development, and the role of the Federation in promoting partnership between the two sectors.
Dr. Mohamed Al-Ali stressed the significance of public-private partnership to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, and the role of the private sector in financing sustainable development projects.
