What role for the private sector in the post-2015 round of goals?

Business and a post-2015 development framework: where next?

Publication - Research reports and studies - 28 March 2013

Paula Lucci

This paper provides a contribution to the discussion on how the private sector can best be involved in any global development framework that follows the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), post-2015. While there have been conversations on this issue, they tend to be fairly broad and general. So far, there have been very few specific suggestions (of which we are aware at the time of writing) on how private sector actors can actually contribute to the post-2015 agenda, or how the design and delivery mechanisms of future goals could help shape private sector behaviours, where relevant. This paper aims to help fill this gap.
