Private sector engagement

Folder Path: \

CARE International's view is that by harnessing the core skills and technical expertise of big business, we can begin to find lasting, sustainable solutions.

We are working together with businesses with the aim of devising operating models that produce profit for companies while at the same time serving the interests of the poor.

This is all about using business knowledge, expertise and dynamism and combining this with the knowledge and skills CARE has of engaging with poor communities, understanding their needs and recognising their capacity to be active participants in development solutions.
