This document discusses engaging the private sector for development. It provides context around financial crises, aid reductions, and the need for job creation. There are four main narratives around private sector engagement: "Africa Rising" as an investment frontier; win-win partnerships for development, economics and diplomacy; concerns around exploitation; and a focus on job creation through economic transformation. The document outlines different actors involved, including businesses, governments and CSOs. It discusses challenges around private sector development, financing and investment agendas. Ongoing research at ECDPM examines roles for aid in working with the private sector, partnerships between businesses and CSOs, governing global value chains, and political economy issues around incentives.
