An analysis of cooperation mechanisms of with the private sector of the joint public and private sector consultative committee (JPPSCC) 2014-2023

Abstract

This study aims to (1) analyze the formation process, conceptual framework, and design of the Joint Public and Private Sector Consultative Committee (JPPSCC) for addressing economic problems between 2014–2023, (2) examine the actors and roles involved in its operations, and (3) propose a development model for the JPPSCC. Employing a qualitative approach, the research utilized semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis. Ten key informants were selected, including government officials, private sector representatives, and academics. The findings reveal four critical factors: (1) the necessity of establishing the JPPSCC, driven by private sector expertise and practical experience; (2) adaptation to changing social, economic, and political contexts, which reshaped working methods and communication channels; (3) collaboration influenced by political party roles prior to 2014 and subsequent limitations on the committee; and (4) achievements and constraints linked to Cabinet mobile meetings, where proposals from non-host provinces were often overlooked. Actor roles required prior coordination between private sector representatives and relevant ministries, with government agencies not always dominant due to the strong influence of the Joint Standing Committee. The proposed development model comprises seven elements: 1) responsive policy formulation, 2) promotion of collaboration, 3) policy coordination, 4) resource support, 5) monitoring and evaluation, 6) innovation and policy improvement, and 7) sustainability of public policy. Policy recommendations emphasize clear coordination mechanisms, transparency in decision-making, and expanded communication channels to ensure equitable consideration of proposals from all regions.
