A national strategy for working with the private sector in development co-operation can set or make reference to regulatory frameworks that companies should follow, identify priority sectors where companies can operate, set results frameworks around which companies can develop their projects, and create predictability. The quality of these regulatory frameworks varies, and is in some cases even restrictive and detrimental to civil society, workers and the environment. In such cases, international standards are called for. International CSOs play an important watchdog and policy-influencing role, as part of the relationship between people and decision makers at the global, regional and national levels, and for consolidating and voicing the views of groups that are impacted by private sector activities. | A national strategy for working with the private sector in development co-operation can set or make reference to regulatory frameworks that companies should follow, identify priority sectors where companies can operate, set results frameworks around which companies can develop their projects, and create predictability. The quality of these regulatory frameworks varies, and is in some cases even restrictive and detrimental to civil society, workers and the environment. In such cases, international standards are called for. Involving domestic civil society in the dialogue to develop these frameworks brings greater accountability to the process through their watchdog and policy influencing role and can play a valuable part in ensuring that the outcomes are in the interests of the public and the environment. Civil society’s approaches in engaging with the government process that develops and implements a national PSE strategy depend on both CSOs’ capacity to engage with governments, the openness of governments and opportunities for engagement. |
