Summary

This booklet outlines many ways the private sector can bring about growth, jobs and prosperity to help meet the Millennium Development Goals, because business is good for development and development is good for business.

Description

International development relies on commerce to create the wealth and jobs that will end poverty and businesses can win a competitive edge and expand their markets by tailoring new goods and services specifically designed to meet the needs of poor people.

Many companies are already reaping the benefits of exploring business opportunities that both increase profits and fuel growth in poorer countries. That's why business is good for development and why development is good for business.
