Nestle, DFID, Shell, WEF, Vodafone and the UN consider cross-sector collaboration at partnerships conference in London, March 2007
Government representatives and top corporations gather to discuss the relative benefit of aid at a conference organised by Ethical Corporation in London, March 21-22.
(CSRwire) LONDON - March 15, 2007 - For the first time, the established annual
conference will have a special focus on governments' role in cross-sector
partnerships. Corporations, including Statoil, Nestle and Vodafone will
discuss how to get best results from relationships with NGOs and
government bodies.
In 2005, the G8 countries promised to double their aid to Africa from
$25bn in 2004 to at least $50bn by 2010. However, according to a recent
report by the OECD, poor forward planning and unrealistic timescales have
meant that much of this aid has not been effectively incorporated into the
recipient countries' existing policies and growth strategies – and so
will have limited impact.
Guaranteeing sustainable results from investment is a growing concern for
both government and private sectors. All parties are beginning to
recognise that cross- sector collaboration is often the only way to tackle
some of the world's most demanding problems and guarantee long-term
success.
The only conference of its kind, Ethical Corporation's
Business-NGO-Government Partnership conference shows how to build
long-term, profitable relationships between sectors.
Confirmed attendees include senior representatives from GSK, DFID, MTV,
the UN, Nestle, WHO, Eskom, WWF and Vodafone among others.
The conference website can be found at:
