Private Sector and Enterprise Development:
Pro-poor Markets and Livelihoods : Background |
Regardless
of scale, the private sector creates jobs and incomes that
promote and enhance people's livelihoods and enable them to
participate in the economy. As such, it is the main driving
force for economic growth. Small businesses are often stifled
by an unfavourable legal and regulatory environment and a
lack of access to capital and loan finance, appropriate technology,
information, institutional linkages and sufficient numbers
of skilled workers. Large corporations are becoming more aware
of their social responsibilities.
