Improving the Business Environment: Inter-agency knowledge exchange
Welcome to the inter-agency database of the Donor Committee's Business Environment Working Group. The database is used to share documents and information about donor-supported work to enhance the business environment to achieve pro-poor growth - with a particular focus on aspects of the Business Environment that discriminate against small firms. DCED guidance on business environment reform and impact stories are available on the main DCED website, which also holds knowledge pages on various other approaches to PSD, including Private Sector Engagement.
