Business with UNDP / UNDP Partners / Private Sector / Business sector and the MDGs
This briefing provides A Framework for Action on how companies
and business coalitions can work with the UN system, governments,
and civil society organisations to help achieve the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs), aimed at making globalisation a
more positive force for more of the world’s people.
All companies and business associations can play a role, from small
and medium enterprises to large national and multinational companies,
and from local chambers of commerce to international business
organisations. Their impacts and contributions may vary in scale
and scope, but the following Framework for Action has relevance to all of them, as well as to people in
the development community with an interest in working with the private sector. It aims to provide a basic
overview with some illustrative examples, rather than an exhaustive analysis, and will hopefully generate
ideas for practical action.
The report answers three key questions:
1 What are the Millennium Development Goals?
2 Why are they important to business?
3 How can business contribute to their achievement?
