Business for Development - Business solutions in support of the Millennium Development Goals (WBCSD)

World Business Council for Sustainable Development (2005) 

Business plays a central role in creating opportunities for empowerment and development. At the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, business publicly ‘stepped up to the plate' by demonstrating that it is taking its own role in development seriously. Part of that commitment involves talking frankly and openly with policy leaders. This publication is part of that ongoing discussion and debate. The publication strongly advocates focusing investment on:

• a strong regulatory and legal framework
• building the capabilities of local enterprises
• core infrastructure
