THE UN AND THE PRIVATE BUSINESS SECTOR

"The main challenge facing the UN organizations in the coming decade, is to provide
their private sector partners with the incentives to invest in the poorer countries,
connect Africa to the Internet, help staunch the AIDS growth". This and much more

can be found on Sandrine Tesner's book, "The United Nations and Business, A
Partnership Recovered". In this edition of World Chronicle, Sandrine Tesner, Manager
of the Private Sector Partnership Unit at the United Nations Office for Project Services,
UNOPS, talks about the changing perceptions on the role of the international business
community in global development.
