Francesco Rampa, head of the Food Security programme at ECDPM, interviews Geoffrey Kirenga, CEO of the SAGCOT Centre in Tanzania.

Together, they discuss public-private partnerships and their role for development in the margins of Grow Africa's investment forum that took place in early June 2015. The Regional Economic Communities and partnerships that work to increase private sector investment in agriculture (like Grow Africa), they conclude in this interview, provide an opportunity for strengthening intra-African trade.
