The Effectiveness of Transforma Alimentos: A case study of public-private partnerships in the Chilean food sector

Master thesis | Latijns-Amerikastudies (BA)

To increase the competitiveness of the Chilean food sector, the programme Transforma Alimentos (Transforma Food) was launched by the Chilean Production Development Corporation in 2015. The collaborative approach of this programme can be considered an example of a public-private partnership (PPP). PPPs in the food sector have not often been discussed in the academic literature and this paper thereby aims at expanding the PPP literature by examining Transforma Alimentos. The evaluation of Transforma Alimentos is developed following the framework by Fernández-Arias, Sabel, Stein & Trejos (2016b). Following the analysis of seven elements of successful PPPs, various improvements can be identified that can be implemented to improve the effectiveness of both Transforma Alimentos specifically and future PPPs in general. Furthermore, the research identifies further PPP literature gaps that can be studied in future PPP researches.
