Trends and Lessons Learned on Improving Framework Conditions for Private Sector Development in the Global South

This study has reviewed the approaches Danida and other development agencies are taking to improve the framework conditions for private sector development in developing countries. The study points to some success. The analysis of Danish support for business advocacy funds has for example been particularly encouraging among others in Tanzania. However, there is a need to better understand how the design, implementation and monitoring of Danish programmes can be improved to achieve better outcomes and to ascertain attributional impacts and results. The study finally highlights that Danida faces many opportunities to further explore, identify and test possible windows of opportunities for mainstreaming climate change adaptation in the Danish support for improved framework conditions for private sector development.
