    What a U.N. Partnership with Big Business Could Accomplish

    by George C. Lodge & Craig Wilson

    If the world's large corporations really are the greatest drivers of wealth creation, it only seems reasonable that their capabilities and resources can be focused on global poverty, says professor emeritus George C. Lodge. Here's the case for a partnership between business, the United Nations, and NGOs. Key concepts include: More than a trillion dollars has been spent since WWII to alleviate poverty, with marginal success. But the goal of poverty reduction will not be reached unless the world tries something new. Countries most successful in reducing poverty have focused on creating profitable businesses. They provide the jobs, income, and motivation for education and individual development that raise standards of living. Multinational corporations can play a key role by connecting local businesses to world markets, credit, and technology. A nonprofit World Development Corporation could be formed to identify and design profitable projects in poor countries in which teams of multinationals would collaborate with local partners.
