In Brief: |
The agendas of
businesses and development agencies are converging, as each sees
increasing mutual benefits from closer collaboration. However, bridges
of trust and understanding still need to be built. Experience from
the Social Dimensions of Business Practice Resource Centre can be
built upon (Mick Blowfield, NRI).
An important point, interest and opportunities at FAO. Can anyone
recommend a good summary of current thinking on business and development
(Julian Hamilton-Peach, DFID Rome)
Suggested websites for follow-up to Mick Blowfield and Julian Hamilton-Peach
contributions (Peter Bailey, ITC).
DFID has commissioned the Natural Resources Institute (NRI) and
the Centre for Development Studies (CDS) to stimulate debate on
the relationship between business and the sustainable livelihoods
approach. The resulting paper addresses how the SL approach can
help to understand and harness the power of the private sector to
meet development goals.
