Towards New Models of Collaboration: Leadership Perspectives and an Agenda for Action

The final event of the 2010 event series "Harnessing the Power of Business for Development Impact," will focus on what leaders from business, government, and development think needs to be done to sustain momentum in support of the base of the pyramid agenda. What new models of collaboration are emerging and what more can we do to strengthen our capacity for collective action?

The event coincides with the launch of Business Action for Africa's 2010 Report, produced in partnership with the CSR Initiative, Harvard Kennedy School, which examines how business-driven partnerships are tackling Africa's development challenges, and what can be learned from these examples to increase their reach and impact.
