As international businesses explore the developing world to find new consumer markets, firms are realizing that long-term prosperity depends on the development of these markets. As a result, more partnerships are springing up between international companies, NGOs and development agencies. They are finding common interests and learning from each other in the process. For years the work of social entrepreneurs often passed unnoticed in the outside world. Now that is changing. Social entrepreneurs are set to have a profound impact on the world's most complex societal and environmental challenges. Their impact may be limited by their current scale, but could be limitless with the right business partners. Several developments indicate the rise of social entrepreneurship in public awareness. ...

This article describes general budget support as an instrument of development cooperation. Based on poverty reduction strategies, poorer developing countries are increasingly receiving general budget support which enables their governments to carry out their core responsibilities more effectively. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks are discussed in a holistic approach. In view of aid effectiveness and efficiency, the author draws on an evaluation which was carried out in the context of the DAC/OECD in 2006, as well as on experience made in Switzerland's budget support engagement. He argues that the budget support methodology could also inspire the cooperation with non-governmental organisations.

Since 2005, ITC has been working to increase trade and reduce poverty in Ethiopia, specifically by helping to build expert capacity in small businesses within the agricultural sector. The pilot project, known as the Ethiopian Export-led Poverty Reduction Project (EEPRP), has worked with trade support institutions to help establish links between market-oriented production and overseas buyers. Results of the program's first significant survey provide encouraging signs that building trade capacity and providing access to international markets improve the lives of the poorest communities in developing nations. The results showed marked improvement in all areas relating to standards of living, including access to education, earnings, savings and trade capacity. The primary household activity...

In an integrated global economy, specialisation in trade is an increasingly prominent strategy. A labor-abundant, resource-rich economy like Indonesia faces stiff competition in labor-intensive manufactures; meanwhile, rapid growth in demand for resources from China and India exposes it to the 'curse' of resource wealth. This diminishes prospects for more diversified growth based on renewable resources like human capital. Using an international panel data set we explore the influence of resource wealth, foreign direct investment and human capital on the share of skill-intensive products in exports. FDI and human capital increase this share; resource wealth diminishes it. We use the results to compare Indonesia with Thailand and Malaysia. Indonesia's reliance on skill-intensive export...

Donors and beneficiaries welcomed the outcome of a two-year external evaluation of ITC at an informal meeting of its Joint Advisory Group in Nov 2005. It resulted in six volumes of reports, including country assessments; evaluations of ITC tools, programs and services; analysis of corporate issues such as human resource development, governance structures and business processes; and a final Synthesis Report. The evaluation endorsed ITC's overall strategy, noting, ITC has considerable knowledge of its TSI (trade support institution) partners and considers responding to client needs as an essential element in its programming. It nevertheless called on ITC to measure its results and impact more systematically.
