Business Linkages: Lessons, Opportunities and Challenges
Business Action for Africa was a supporting partner to a 2007 report on business linkages by the CSR Initiative at Harvard Kennedy School, the International Business Leaders Forum and the International Finance Corporation.
The report addresses the challenges faced by large companies when linking with small and medium enterprises, and highlights opportunities to increase the scale and impact of linkage programmes (including through collective action). The report also includes a valuable set of company case studies.
