It might seem obvious that a multinational commercial organization wanting to make a contribution to social development can best do so by using its core competencies. But in professional services organizations like KPMG, they have to be a little more creative in working out how best to use their skills. Since 2007 KPMG has been working with the Millennium Cities Initiative (MCI), an urban counterpart to the Millennium Villages Project. MCI seeks to help selected mid-sized cities across sub-Saharan Africa to formulate integrated city development strategies, including attracting foreign investment to stimulate economic growth and development. To date, KPMG has produced four Millennium City reports and two industry reports: sugar production in Kisumu and bamboo bike production in Kumasi.

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.

While service firms account for much of southern Africa's economic growth and new jobs, export strategies in the region have rarely focused on this "invisible" sector. Countries need to be more sensitive to the fact that trade in services exists and represents enormous economic opportunities, including between countries in the South. With that aim, ITC organized a "Bridges across Borders" meeting for service sector associations from nine countries in southern Africa. Representatives from the association exchanged information about their markets and prospected for business opportunities for their firms. The Government of South Africa will review its incentive program to ensure that the service sector receives the lion's share. To facilitate cooperation, ITC organized 616 bilateral consul...

Services contribute to jobs and economic growth in all countries. With efficient service economies, countries in the developing world can tap into global and regional trade opportunities. A series of "Bridges Across Borders" networking events among services industry associations is helping to uncover regional business opportunities. The integration of information technology associations is an important step towards an efficient service economy. The formation of networks to help service industries voice common concerns and take collective action is a growing trend. Lack of awareness is still the number one obstacle to increasing the export of services.

Construction, transportation and financial services have good potential for regional cooperation and development due to firms with export experience and business opportunities in new regional transport networks. The Southern African Development Community (SADC) Protocol in Transport shows the potential for growth, with ten transport corridors under way in the region. Trade in services in Africa is growing fast. African exports of commercial services jumped 46% in two years, according to the World Trade Organization. Remigius Makumbe, Executive Secretary of SADC, said the organization was committed to creating an enabling environment for regional trade and was making progress in fostering intra-regional connectivity.

African countries stand to gain from completing the current round of WTO negotiations. ITC is helping developing countries re-engage in world trade talks through a series of regional workshops that bring business and government together to assess their gains and sharpen negotiating strategies. Business in developing countries is advocating strongly for a return to the negotiating table, but it is an often-neglected voice in trade talks. ITC's Business for Development workshops help business leaders make their case with government negotiators and contribute to more targeted national negotiating positions. The series got off to a successful start in Nairobi (30-31 March), where participants from eastern and southern Africa discussed their expectations from the Doha Development Round of gl...
