Definitions/ Social Responsibility:
Being Socially Responsible means that people
and organisations must behave ethically and
with sensitivity toward social, cultural,
economic and environmental issues.
Striving for social responsibility helps
individuals, organisations and governments
have a positive impact on development,
business and society with a positive
contribution to bottom-line results.

Definitions/ Social Responsibility:
The idea that companies should embrace its social
responsibilities and not be solely focused on maximizing
profits. Social responsibility entails developing
businesses with a positive relationship to the society
which they operate in.
According to the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO), this relationship to the society
and environment in which they operate is "a critical
factor in their ability to continue to operate effectively.
It is also increasingly being used as a measure of their
overall performance."

sustainability, and building a Global Partnership for Development.

development cooperation; Ex. poverty reduction in

(now) in SDGs.

Attracting Investors & Building Trust/
Evidence Based
According to the statistics and evidence based, that
the poorest 20% of the world population consumes
1.3% of the global resources consumption. These
people lack adequate access to food, clean water and
basic social services and needs. Researches shows
that physical and mental illnesses, crime and many
social problems are more prevalent in unequal
societies, than societies distribute income and
wealth more equitably.
It is simply impossible to tackle extreme poverty
without tackling extreme wealth too.
November 27, 2014 Engagement with the Private Sector 12
Attracting Investors & Building Trust
The donor agencies should stay aware of peoples
basic needs when supporting Small and Medium
Enterprises (SME), as well as, the government and
Financial Institutions to act in this regard too with
sustainable and co-efficient opportunities.
Today foreign private sector investors are from China
and India, while European investors have reduced
their presence in Africa, as they may worry about
security and corruption.. Thus Building Trust is a core
challenge (Transparency and Accountability).. And
Good governance is essential for a stable economy.

Private Sector & The Road Map Towards Post
2015
Transparency and accountability are essential in
public-private partnerships for development.
It is vital that institutions which have committed to
be transparent and accountable retain these values
in partnerships with private finance. Transparency
underpins a continued focus on development
outcomes and pushes institutions to prove the
impact of the models they are experimenting with.
Ultimately, as we move towards a post-2015 agenda
that will require partnerships between all actors,
public and private, it helps us learn which models
work best. (FDI).

Finance Development Index (FDI)

FDI is an important example: the repatriated profits


on FDI leaving developing countries were equivalent
to almost 90% of new FDI in 2011.
Second, some FDI inflows are actually the
reinvestment of profits earned within the country:
i.e. not an inflow.
It is earning accounted for over 60% of outward FDI
from developed countries in 2012.

CONCLUSION
Both public and private resources will have a
vital role to play in realising the post-2015
vision. It is important that we recognise the roles
of different types of finance, their different
strengths and what each type of finance can best
contribute to financing development and the end
of poverty.
This only come through fully understanding these
challenges, and working transparently, thus we
can we find mechanisms that can be truly
transformative.

RECOMMENDATIONS
A development agenda to be impose and consider
engagement of industry and businesses as key partners
in advancing the future Sustainable development
Goals.
To be based on Universal human rights. It should not
just propose policy goals but also to establish legally
enforceable procedures. Under the international law
and national laws, obligations for states and private
businesses must be clearly defined. This is an essential
precondition for addressing the structural impact of
poverty and inequality and for respecting ecological and
economic boundaries..
