Why advice goes further when it's backed by investment
M. J. Boomsma, Anna Laven, Bart de Steenhuijsen Piters (eds.)
In development cooperation the private sector can be seen as an integral part of the solution to reduce poverty. There is a need for a facilitator to align interests, bridge cultural differences, fill in gaps in skills, and deal with power differences, wrong expectations and prejudice.
This book tells about the experience The Royal Tropical Institute has in this role and how this changed from being an advisor with little mandate to act and no ownership, to being a full business partner, backed by investment.
