Enterprise Solutions to Poverty: Opportunities and Challenges for the International Development Community and Big Business

Enterprise Solutions to Poverty: Opportunities and Challenges for the International Development Community and Big Business, a report written by the Shell Foundation, argues that enterprise and business thinking must be placed at the heart of efforts to address poverty. The report concludes by calling for partnership between government, civil society and big business to be recast so that business thinking can be applied to the poverty challenge. It also calls on businesses to provide an enabling environment to deliver the jobs and economic growth that the poor desperately want.
