Rio+20: Enabling green and inclusive markets - a case for public-private collaboration. Part 4 - Donor Support to Green and Inclusive Businesses.
The DCED Green Growth Working Group brings together development agencies to address how private sector development can support green growth. Kim Nguyen Van, Head of Project, Sustainable Economic Development, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and Chair of the DCED Green Growth Working Group (GGWG), outlines two of its current activities - researching the links between green growth and women's entrepreneurship, and compiling diagnostics for partner countries to assess the likely effects of green growth policies. In addition, a number of development agencies are active independently in supporting green growth initiatives, and Kim details GIZ's economic policy support. He also highlights further multilateral support, including the G20 Challenge on Inclusive Business Innovation. Kim ends by looking at the outcomes from the DCED, UN Global Compact and WRI side-event at Rio+20 on the business environment for inclusive and green businesses. Next steps in the discussion include a side-event at the 15th International Business Forum, 21-23 October, in Johannesburg, focused on green and inclusive businesses in South Africa, and a possible community of practice for green and inclusive businesses.
