Enterprise Solutions to Poverty

Enterprise Solutions to Poverty ends by calling for partnership between government, civil society and big business to be recast in 2005 so that business thinking can be applied to the poverty challenge by ensuring the enabling environment can deliver the jobs and economic growth that the poor desperately want.
